This article provides instructions for completing the identity proofing (IDP) process through Experian for level of assurance 2 (LOA2), which means providers will only prescribe non-controlled substances at their organization.
1. Go to your email and find an identity proofing invitate email from infinidadmin@drfirst.com
- Your email invite is either initiated by an administrator at your organization, your EMR vendor, or DrFirst.
2. Click on the link within the email to begin the identity proofing process. If for any reason this link is not working, you may need to request a new invite.
Please be advised that the invite expires after 60 days.
3. On the next screen, you will see that the InfinID application will open and you will see a notification that your organization has requested you to complete identity proofing. Select Next.
- Tip: Use a computer (and not a phone) to complete the registration.
- Experian is the identity-proofing vendor, and InfinID is the program that hosts the process.

- Make sure when entering address, you leave out any special characters.
- E.g., if you live at 1 E. Main St Apt. 204 you should enter it as 1 E Main St Apt 204 without any periods.
- It is recommended that you enter a mobile phone number for which you are the primary account holder.
- If you do not enter your mobile number, or it cannot be verified, Experian will mail you a letter with an Experian Transaction Number (ETN), instead of texting you. This letter takes 3-5 business days to arrive.
- Having a personal credit card during this process is not required, but can help with passing identity proofing.
- Experian uses financial history to verify a provider’s identity.
- You must use a personal VISA or MasterCard.
- Only the first 8 digits are required and no charges will be applied.
7. Next, answer 3-4 financial questions, which will be based on your Experian credit report. You will have 5 minutes to answer the questions and select Continue, before your session times out.
