Verification process
Upon receiving your request, I will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom I have the information in my system.

I may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.
I will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, I will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification. If, however, I cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by me, I may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity, and for security or fraud-prevention purposes.
