Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what methods universal credit claimants can use to confirm their identity other than face-to-face at a jobcentre or using GOV.UK Verify.

Claimants can verify their identity by one or more of the following:

• GOV.UK Verify
• documentary evidence
• biographical test
• biographical check
• gather and confirm
• know and recognise

If a claimant is unable to confirm their identity at a Jobcentre or using our Verify system, a home visit can be arranged.
