Identity Verification
Atlas is obligated to follow several rules and regulations. As such, we are obligated to collect certain information from our users to verify their identities.
Why is Atlas asking me for my personal information?
Verifying your identity allows you to leverage all aspects of Atlas. Atlas is required to collect certain information from all its users who have access to Atlas. We may also ask to verify your identity depending on your Atlas usage.
I got an email from Atlas asking to verify my identity. Is this legit?
We'll notify you in the Atlas app and via email if we need to verify your identity. We appreciate you being careful with your personal information and always advise avoiding emails that may seem suspicious. In this case, handling identity verification in your Atlas app can help confirm whether the request is really from us.
If we’re unable to verify your identity, we won’t be able to continue offering you an Atlas account.
How do I verify my identity in the Atlas app?
Simply open the Atlas app and the on-screen prompts will guide you through the process.
What can I submit for identification?
You can submit a valid US government-issued ID such as:
Drivers License
Non-Drivers License Identification Card
How long will it take to verify my identity?
Typically, the identity verification process only takes a few minutes. Sometimes, our automated ID verification process doesn’t work because the information is unavailable or your name or address has changed. In that case, we’ll ask you to send us documentation that confirms your identity.
What should I do if I made a typo or submitted the wrong documentation?
Keep an eye on your Atlas app and your email — our team will follow up with you to get the correct information if needed.
