ID.me Identity Verification
Houston City College (HCC) is excited to partner with ID.me to provide a fast, secure, and reliable identity verification process for our students.
ID.me is a U.S. Department of Education–approved service that offers 24/7 customer support and allows students to complete verification fully online—without staff intervention.
If you are selected for identity verification, please be prepared to submit a valid government-issued ID and any additional documentation needed to confirm your identity.
Find more information by reading the Significant Actions to Prevent Fraud through Identity Verification article by Federal Student Aid.
