Using ID.me

ID.me is an identity verification service trusted by many federal and state agencies, including The Texas A&M University System.

Pre-hire personnel, retirees, and former employees will use ID.me for authentication with SSO.

NOTE: Active employees of the A&M System should use their university/agency credentials (alternate login).

See Creating Your Account and ID.me Frequently Asked Questions for more information.

Logging in with ID.me

Select the ID.me logo from the Single Sign On (SSO) login page.
The following screen will ask for your Universal Identification Number (UIN) to verify your eligibility to use the ID.me login.
If you are eligible to use ID.me, you will be redirected to the ID.me site to log in.
If you already have an ID.me account, use your existing username and password to log in.
Otherwise, create an account and begin verifying your identity.
After logging into ID.me, you will authorize A&M System to access your verified identity information. Clicking “Deny” will prevent you from logging in to SSO with your ID.me account.

Creating Your Account

Your ID.me account belongs to you and is independent of your relationship with the A&M System. Creating your ID.me account is easy. You can do it entirely on your own, without assistance from your A&M System HR or benefits representative. What you need:

A smartphone with a camera
Photo ID (U.S. driver’s license or state ID, U.S. passport, or U.S. passport card)
Social Security number

Please note that the information you provide ID.me must match your legal name, social security number, and birth date in Workday.

To get started, click the ID.me link in SSO, verify your UIN, and follow ID.me’s instructions to create your account and set up multi-factor authentication.
