Where to send EDD SDI identity verification documents? Lost the address!

Ive been thru that. Pretty sure its PO Box 989010, West Sacramento, CA 95798-9010 for id verification stuff. But double check online bc they have diff PO Boxes for diff things!

The previous commenter provided an address that's actually for UI identity verification, not SDI. For State Disability Insurance identity verification, you should send documents to: Employment Development Department PO Box 997401 Sacramento, CA 94250-7401 Make sure to include your claim ID number on everything you send, and I strongly recommend sending it certified mail with tracking so you have proof they received it. They're notorious for "losing" documents.

I got the same verification request last month!!! So annoying. I actually ended up calling them to confirm the address before sending my stuff because I was paranoid about it going to the wrong place. Took me like 2 days of calling to get through though.

I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to reach EDD to verify some information about my disability claim. Finally gave up and used Claimyr (claimyr.com) - they got me connected to an EDD representative in about 20 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd The EDD rep confirmed the address for me and also helped resolve another pending issue on my claim. Might be worth it if you're struggling to get through on the phone like I was.

The EXACT same thing happened to me in January!!! So frustrating how EDD makes everything so complicated. I sent my docs to the Sacramento PO Box address mentioned above AND also uploaded digital copies through my SDI Online account just to be safe. Be careful about what you send though - they only need copies, NOT your original documents. I nearly sent my original birth certificate like an idiot, which would've been a disaster if they lost it (which they totally might). Also make sure you include a cover letter with your full name, claim ID, last 4 of SSN, and clearly explain these are the verification documents they requested!

Yes, you can upload verification documents digitally in some cases. Log into your SDI Online account, go to "Upload Documents" in the left menu. If you don't see that option, it means your specific verification request requires mailed physical copies. Also, important note: EDD is very particular about what constitutes acceptable verification. Make sure you're sending exactly what they requested in their letter. For identity verification, they typically want: 1. Primary ID (unexpired driver's license, state ID, or passport) 2. Secondary ID (Social Security card, birth certificate, or recent W-2) And as mentioned above, always include your claim number and a brief explanation of why you're sending these documents.

One more thing - don't forget to keep copies of EVERYTHING you send to EDD for your own records. They lost my verification documents TWICE last year during my pregnancy disability claim. The third time I sent them, I included a note saying I had already sent them twice before with the exact dates. Suddenly they "found" them! 🙄 The whole system is a mess.
