ID Verification Data Fields
Below are the data fields collected during the identity verification process and passed to your college with your students' CCCApply submitted application data and verification status change notifications. Status changes occur whenever a student’s verification status becomes unverified, or re-verified, or expires. For complete ID Verification data element specifications, please see the online OpenCCC Account Data Element Dictionary.
Data Dictionary Name | Data Field Name | Description |

Note: The IDme verification data fields are scheduled to deprecate on or before June 30, 2026. Colleges do not need to take any action related to this deprecation.
Verification Status Workflows
The following workflows illustrate each student identity verification process and the workflow status changes that may result. For visual diagrams of these workflows, see ID Verification Status Change Flowcharts.
Workflow | Status Change | Notes |
A student completes a verification or re-verification process using DMV or IDme. |
|
|
A college staff manually creates an account and verifies a student’s identity on their behalf using the OpenCCC Account Creation tool. |
| Pertains to new accounts created by college staff only. |
A verified or staff-verified student’s status expires. |
| A Verified status will expire when 365 days have lapsed since successful verification. |
A change or update is made to the student’s CCCID Account profile data required for identity verification. |
| A Verified status will change to Unverified if any of the following profile data is changed in user’s account:
|
If the system identifies a student’s verification status has changed, a status change event notification is delivered by SuperGlue to the Events Table of each college that the student has submitted an application to. In addition, colleges may request access to a recurring Identity Verification Status Change Report.
Student’s with an Unverified verification status will encounter the Re-Verify Your Identity page upon their next OpenCCC or CCCApply sign in attempt. This will also happen if the status is set to Expired.
At all times, the student’s ID verification status is displayed at the bottom of their Account Profile page.
Verification Workflow Status Values
The DMV Wallet Workflow Status field indicates the student’s verification workflow status at the time the student’s CCCApply Application is submitted. The field values are shown below:
Value | Definition |
|---|---|
| The student has never verified their identity through the DMV Wallet process. (Blank/Null would only appear in the |
| The student’s identity was successfully Verified by DMV Wallet and is current. |
| The student’s identity was verified by a college staff member at the time the student’s OpenCCC account was created. |
| The student’s identity was previously verified but has become Unverified due to a change made in the student’s OpenCCC account profile. |
| One year (365 days) has elapsed since the student’s previous Verified or Staff Verified status. |
Verification Status Change Notifications
In order to keep colleges informed of post-application-submission and account profile status changes, event-driven notifications are delivered to the college in the following formats:
All status change events are delivered to college’s Events Table via SuperGlue
Upon request, status change notifications can also be delivered to college via the Identity Verification Status Change Report
These notifications will allow colleges to track the student’s current verification status for eligibility for financial aid and other fraud prevention activities.
