STEP 3. Complete Identity Proofing

After entering the License Key, you will be prompted to select your identity proofing option. Chose one of the below proofing methods:

Instant Proofing: If you are located in the United States, you can complete identity proofing instantly by answering Experian credit bureau-based questions. or by scheduling a live video proofing session with an agent.
Live Video Proofing: Users located outside of United States must schedule a live proofing session. US-based users may select live video proofing if they are unable to complete the Experian proofing.

Click the button below to learn more about identity proofing:

STEP 4. Activate the Token

If you underwent live video proofing, use the activation code that you received from the agent to activate your Hardware Token.

Follow the steps below to activate your Hardware Token:

Step 1. From your MAG user account, select the My Account tab, then the Manage OTP sub-tab.

Step 2. Click the Purchase or Register Credential link.

Step 3. Enter the activation code the Proofing Agent provided at the end of your proofing. Click Continue.

Step 4. Click Activate to complete the process.

Step 5. Register the Token

If you purchased a Hardware Token, you have the bonus option to also register a phone number with your Hardware Token OTP subscription. With a registered phone number, you will be able to receive OTP codes via Voice or SMS text messages. We highly recommend this option for two reasons:

If you lose your Hardware Token, you still will be able to use your Phone OTP for authentication while you are awaiting your token replacement. Many applications within MAG accept Phone OTP (unless you are working with Boeing applications, which require a Hardware Token for access).
If you lose a Hardware Token that required identity proofing, you won't need to repeat the identity proofing process if you can authenticate with a Phone OTP.

Step 2. Press the button on the front of your token and enter that number into the Token Code 1 field.

Step 3. Wait 30 seconds and press the button again. Enter this number into the Token Code 2 field.
