Separate account identity from application information
HealthCare.gov gives different instructions for unsuccessful identity proofing and for data-matching issues on an application. Identity evidence goes through account settings; application evidence is associated with the specific application and issue.
Save the message and note where it appeared. If you are unsure which problem it describes, ask Marketplace assistance to identify the required next step before uploading documents under an unrelated household request.

Complete the official verification and help steps
The published identity-upload instructions apply after an applicant has failed identity proofing twice and the Experian Help Desk has been unable to verify identity. Use the current contact and sequence provided by HealthCare.gov.
Keep a short record of the result and what you were asked to do next. Do not bypass the verification steps or create a different account with inaccurate details to work around the problem.

Use Manage account settings for the identity documents
The instructions direct you to sign in, open Manage account settings, select the document type and submit the file. Use the current accepted document and file requirements rather than assuming an image accepted elsewhere will work here.
Prepare a clear copy and submit it through the official account route. Keep the confirmation privately. A healthcare practice does not verify a Marketplace account and should not receive these documents through an appointment inquiry.

Check the identity result before returning to enrollment
HealthCare.gov describes notification through email and account messages after review. Its account-settings status can change to Identity verified; unresolved identity questions can be taken to the Marketplace Call Center using the current instructions.
Read any request for more information and then resume the application or enrollment task that was blocked. Verified identity is not a finding that you qualify for coverage, have selected a plan or have paid an initial premium. Track those remaining tasks separately.

Your next-step checklist
- Identify whether the message concerns identity or application evidence.
- Follow the current verification-attempt and help-desk sequence.
- Use Manage account settings for the instructed identity upload.
- Save confirmation and check the account’s verification result.
- Resume enrollment and confirm coverage steps separately.
Keep personal, insurance and medical information in the appropriate organization’s approved secure channel.
Common questions
Should I upload identity documents under an immigration-status request?
Not simply because both involve documents. HealthCare.gov separates identity proofing in account settings from application data-matching uploads. Follow the route for the actual message.

Does Identity verified mean my health insurance is active?
No. It resolves the account identity step. Application eligibility, plan enrollment and any required payment still need their own confirmation.
