I heard something about identity verification, what is that?
Identity verification is required in the following counties only:
- Alameda (all students)
- Kern County (Out of state students exempt)
- Kings County (Out of state students exempt)
- Madera (all students)
- San Bernardino County (Out of state students exempt and
residents of Joshua Tree exempt - certificate will be sent to address in Joshua Tree)
- San Diego County (all students)
Remember: All home study programs approved in those counties MUST require your identity be verified so if they're telling you something different It is suggested that you call and ask the court.
Identity verification is a procedure whereupon you as the student are required to prove your identity. This Traffic School offers two options for identity verification.
OPTION 1: Online Identity Verification (EXPERIAN) - Fee $9.00 (Includes certificate of completion)
(Teens, Workbook Students or Students with no credit history will not be able to use this option. Individuals with security blocks on their credit file must temporarily remove the security block before the online ID verification process can be completed IF POSSIBLE) This does not mean owning a credit card, this is a soft hit on your (credit report) obtaining credit "history", where your name is on ownership of vehicles, homes, etc. Do not omit more than what they require (middle initial or name).They will fail you! Double check all your information before submitting it to Experian for errors, because if they cannot obtain your credit history, they will fail you!
To choose this option, simply select the "Online ID Verification" option after you have selected the court district your ticket/citation was issued in. When you are ready to begin the Final Exam you will be prompted and directed to the Experian website to verify your identity. You will be given the opportunity to verify specific credit information using your own credit history.
Important Note: At no time does the Traffic School have access to any of your credit information, nor is it responsible for failure of identity verification.On the Experian site you will be given a selection of three to six questions for verification. If you fail a question an alternate question may be given, however, if a second question is failed you will have failed the ID Verification process and the Traffic School will be notified. You will be given 5 minutes to answer questions before an incorrect answer is registered. If you fail the the ID Verification process you are welcome to try again for an additional fee of $9.00. Whether you pass or fail the results will be immediately relayed to the Traffic School. The $9.00 fee will be collected whether you pass or fail.
Your ID verification is terminated/expired because you opened a new session / Back browsed (BACK ARROW) and logged back in after completing the ID verification process and before completing the final exam and submitting it for grading. You cannot navigate away from the page once you have been verified, you must take the final exam immediatly. (This session is timed to prevent cheating).
If you successfully pass the ID verification process you will be able to complete the Final Exam online, otherwise you will have to complete the Notary Public process for ID verification.(See option 2)
WE ARE NOT EXPERIAN IF YOU HAVE CREDIT BLOCKS OF ANY KIND ON YOUR CREDIT REPORT, IT IS YOUR RESPONSABILITY TO TEMPORARILY REMOVE THEM (IF POSSIBLE) IN ORDER TO UTILIZE THE ONLINE ID VERIFICATION PROCESS THROUGH EXPERIAN. OTHERWISE THEY CANNOT OBTAIN YOUR CREDIT HISTORY, AND WILL FAIL YOU. CHARGES CANNOT BE REFUNDED BY THE TRAFFIC SCHOOL.
