Why do I need to verify my identity?
This is a federal Marketplace security measure for certain applications. It helps prevent fraud and protect your personal information.
If your application requires this verification, you must complete it to continue the process. Follow the instructions and any deadlines in your official notice to help avoid delays in your coverage. We’ll guide you through each step.
Tap “Create a Wallet”
This is the first step in setting up your new account.
If you already have an account, sign in with your existing credentials. Do not create a second account.
Enter Your Personal Email
Use a personal email you can access right away. Avoid shared email accounts.
Create a Strong Password
It needs at least 8 characters, an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, and a number or symbol. Save it in a safe place so you don’t lose access to your account.
