Should i create a login. Gov or id. Me account to sign in to va. Gov? | veterans affairs

Here’s what to know: * LOGIN.GOV is our government’s one account provider. The U.S. government creates and maintains your account. * ID.ME is a non-government account provider that contracts

with government and non-government organizations. ID.ME creates and maintains your account.  * Both accounts meet modern security standards and protect your data so only you can access and

change your stored information. Both LOGIN.GOV and ID.ME let you use a single, secure account to access your VA and some other government benefits and services.  If any of these descriptions

are true for you, you’ll need to choose ID.ME: * You live outside the U.S. * You don’t have a Social Security number * You don’t have a current driver’s license or other state-issued ID *

Your phone is on a plan that’s not in your name and you want to verify your identity online * You have a non-driver’s-license state ID from Alaska, Delaware, Nevada, or Wisconsin NOTE: If

the address listed on your ID is a PO Box, we recommend choosing ID.ME. Want to share more feedback? We'll use it to keep improving VA.gov for all Veterans and their families. Complete
