Matching logic post-authentication
Accept all email addresses in your ID.me payload
You will need to update the policy for your organization to receive “all emails” tied to the emails_confirmed attribute within the data payload (see data payload example below).
This configuration will ensure you receive business emails associated with the account and not just the personal email. In a February product release, ID.me will label emails by type, e.g., Personal vs. Work, so you can only accept work emails if desired. In the meantime, updating this configuration is critical to ensuring you receive the right email type. Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to confirm you are set up and configured to receive all emails.

"attributes": [
{
"handle": "emails_confirmed",
"name": "All Confirmed Emails",
"value": [
"[email protected]",

}
}Avoid duplicate account errors by providing users with specific instructions
Users who have already verified their identity to NIST IAL2 in a personal context (e.g., accessing retirement, tax, or veteran benefits and services) SHOULD NOT attempt to sign up with ID.me with their work email and phone number. They need to add their work email and other information to their existing verified profile.
We need your help to ensure that all ID.me customers with business user-facing applications display the same instructions. ID.me is a shared service so it is critical to have consistency.
If you use ID.me for login and identity verification of business users, ensure the copy and links below are shown on the landing page, replacing “ACME.INC” with your organization name.

Leveraging the ID.me unique identifier
Parsing the ID.me user’s UUID (unique identifier) from the payload response provides a unique and persistent identifier for each user. This identifier can be utilized in databases, analytics, or systems to link and retrieve specific user-related information consistently. It helps maintain a clear association between responses from ID.me and the corresponding user, enhancing precision and efficiency in data management and processing.
Utilizing UUIDs enhance the user experience by enabling personalization and tracking. It ensures unique identification, enabling seamless continuity across interactions, personalized content delivery, and efficient data management. This contributes to a more streamlined and tailored user experience.
Example of UUID in the payload response:
{
"attributes": [
{
"handle": "uuid",
"name": "Unique Identifier",
"value": "d733a89e2e634f04ac2fe66c97f71612"
