Verify Your Identity

In-Person Verification at GWC

If neither online option works for you, verify your identity in person. This is a good choice if you don't have the documents ID.me requires, don't have a California DL or ID, or would simply rather do it face to face.

Best if you:

Do not have the documents ID.me requires
Do not have a California Driver's License or ID card
Do not have a smartphone or reliable internet access
Prefer not to use online biometric verification

What to Bring

Bring a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license, state ID card, passport, permanent resident card, consular ID, or other ID
Your CCCApply confirmation number or Student ID number, if you have one

Where to Go

Admissions & Records in the Student Services Center. Check our Admissions page for more information.

Time to Complete

Please allow 2 business days for your Identity Verification to be processed.
