Upon submitting a request, USRC will attempt to verify your identity by matching identifying information provided by you (or your authorized representative) to the personal information maintained by USRC. If a request is made by an authorized agent, USRC will require you or your authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the agent permission to submit the request. The type of information needed to verify your identify will depend on the type of request you make. If we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request additional information from you.

If additional time is needed, we will notify you prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period.
