Can I get a Login.gov or ID.me account if I don’t have a mobile phone?
Yes. You’ll just need to use alternate methods to verify your identity and add multifactor authentication (MFA).
- For Login.gov: You can verify your identity at a participating U.S. post office. Or, you can verify online and upload images of your ID from a computer. If you have no U.S. phone number at all, you may be able to verify your address by mail.

Learn about verifying by mail on the Login.gov website - For ID.me: You can verify your identity for your account on a video call with a trusted ID.me agent. You’ll need to upload photos of your ID documents from a computer and you’ll need a webcam for the video call.
Learn more about verifying on a video call on the ID.me website - For both accounts: You can choose an MFA method that doesn’t require a mobile phone. You can use a security key, a call to a landline, or backup codes.
