MOHELA's steps
Log in, open Profile, tap the info icon next to your name to see which documents you need, then Upload them. Or send a secure message with your proof.
Have these ready
- A copy of your marriage certificate, divorce decree or court order (most companies ask for one).
- Your updated driver's license or ID, if you have it. Social Security comes first, then the DMV.
- Your account number, and the name the account is in now.
