IDENTITY-DOC-TYPE
Identity Verification Document Type. This Data Element is used to: (1) Identify the type of document or data match used for verification of identity; (2) Identify why a client is exempt from identity verification requirements; or (3) Identify why a client claiming U.S. citizenship has not provided an identity verification document.
If identity verification is not required but the current application includes identity documentation that is a higher level group (based on the first digit of document type) than what is currently on MEDS (e.g., 2B versus 7A or 8K), that higher level documentation should be reported to MEDS.
Since a primary (Level/Tier 1) document satisfies both citizenship and identity requirements, if an Identity Document Type beginning with a “1” is reported, MEDS will automatically update the Citizenship Document Type with the same
Level/Tier 1 information. This, however, does not apply to a citizenship document based on a birth record match (Source code BM). MEDS will not overlay a birth record match even if the document is of a higher level.
The identity codes below are listed in order of reliability. If more than one code could apply to a client, the highest appropriate code should be reported.
