About

The purpose of Vermont's identity proofing system is to provide better protection against identity theft and fraud. It works in conjunction with MyVermont, Vermont's single sign-on system for the general population. MyVermont's "general population" includes Vermont residents and people doing business with Vermont.

For many state services, no identity proofing is needed, while other services require it. For example, identity proofing is required to file a claim for unemployment benefits.

For more information on Identity Assurance Levels see the "NIST Digital Identity Guidelines"
