Identity Proofing refers to the process by which Exostar verifies the legitimacy of users' digital identities. If your partner requires a credential with identity proofing, you will need to undergo one of the two identity proofing methods offered by Exostar:

Type 1.  Experian Instant Proofing (complete online instantly)

Type 2.  Live Video Proofing (schedule a video proofing session with an agent) 

Did you purchase an OTP without proofing, and now need to upgrade to an OTP with proofing? Learn how to add a Proofing Upgrade to an active OTP credential. 

After you complete the OTP purchase and enter the License Key for your product in MAG, you will be redirected to select the desired proofing option. Follow the steps below to launch the Experian proofing process:

Step 1.  Select Verify my identity online now as the Proofing Service.

Step 2.  Complete required fields to verify your identity. If the last four digits of your SSN are not verifiable, you are prompted to enter all nine digits. Your personal information is not stored or saved by Exostar.

Step 3.  Click Next. If agreeing to the identity verification, click Agree.

Step 4.  Answer credit history questions. Click Submit. If incorrect answers are provided, but the credit bureau is able to locate you with your personal information, you will receive an activation code in 3 to 8 business days via postal mail. The activation code is required for you to activate your credential.  If the credit bureau cannot locate you, you are routed to webcam proofing.

Step 5.  Once you successfully complete your instant proofing, you must activate your credential.

After you complete the OTP purchase and enter the License Key for your product in MAG, you will be redirected to select the desired proofing option. Follow the steps below to launch the Experian proofing process:

Step 1.  Select Verify my identity by meeting with an agent later as the Proofing Service.

Step 2.  Click Schedule an Appointment. Review the information and click Continue.

Step 3.  Select an appointment date and time from the calendar. Click Continue.

Step 4.  Enter required fields. Click Confirm.

Step 5.  Before your appointment, review the Live Video Proofing Resource page for assistance 

NOTE: There is limited time to complete troubleshooting during your appointment. Failure to appear for your scheduled appointment will require you to reschedule via your Exostar MAG account.

Step 6.  You must present valid, unexpired Government-issued photo identification, and answer a series of yes or no questions to prove your identity to an Exostar Proofing Agent over a live webcam-based proofing session.

NOTE: After successful completion of the webcam proofing, the proofing agent provides an activation code. This code is required to activate your credential. If you fail the webcam proofing, the proofing agent provides further instructions.
