In-Person Identity Verification

In-Person Verification through the United States Postal Service (USPS)

The N.C. Division of Employment Security (DES) partnered with the US DOL and USPS to give individuals an in-person option to verify their identity. Identity verification is an important step to help protect your identity and prevent unemployment fraud.

Steps to Complete In-Person Verification

1. Sign in to your MyNCUIBenefits account.
2. Click on the Identity Verification link.
3. Select Verify with USPS to be taken to the USPS website to get started.
4. After registering, a barcode and a list of post offices where you can complete the process will appear.
5. You have seven days to take your barcode and required paperwork in person to a nearby participating post office.
6. Once you have completed the verification, you must wait up to 24 hours before signing into your MyNCUIBenefits account.

1. The barcode you got when you did the USPS registration.
2. The email you used to create your MyNCUIBenefits account.
3. Accepted ID documents: state driver's license, state-issued ID card, United States Armed Forces or uniformed service ID card, or passport.
