Verifying Immigration Status for Marketplace Applications

The following documents may be used to verify immigration status to determine eligibility for Marketplace coverage.

Consumers only need to provide one of these documents if the Hub is unable to verify their immigration status through

its trusted data sources. Immigration status is only checked for consumers who are applying for coverage through the

Marketplace – not for other members of the household who aren’t applying for coverage.

Additional Types of Supporting Documents

These documents can also be used to verify consumers’ immigration status for the Marketplace to determine eligibility

for health coverage through the Marketplace:
