Documents to verify identity
Social Security Number
During the registration process for getting a Convo number, we ask that you enter ONLY the last four numbers of your SSN to verify your identity. This is a required step by the FCC (you can learn more about that here).
IMPORTANT: Do NOT send or share a photo of your Social Security card.
Documents to verify residency (if needed)
Driver's License
Your unexpired driver's license or State ID is the easiest way to verify your residency. The license or state ID need to have a physical address and not a PO Box.
Alternative documents
If your driver's license does not have your current address on it, you will need to provide a secondary document below to verify that you are residing in the United States such as:
Utility bill
Current income statement from an employer, paycheck stub, or W2
Prior year's state, federal, or Tribal tax return
Current mortgage or lease statement (this may include an agreement that enables residence in a school dormitory)
Unexpired United States government or state-issued ID
Government assistance program documents which include the name and address of the individual
Retirement/pension statement of benefits; and an unemployment/workers' compensation statement of benefits
