Verification
process
Upon receiving your request, we

verification efforts require us to ask you to provide
information so that we can match it with information you have
previously provided us. For instance, depending on the type of
request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain
information so that we can match the information you provide
with the information we already have on file, or we may contact
you through a communication method (e.g. phone or email) that
you have previously provided to us. We may also use other
verification methods as the circumstances
dictate.
We will only use personal
information provided in your request to verify your identity or
authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will
avoid requesting additional information from you for the
purposes of verification. If, however, we cannot verify your
identity from the information already maintained by us, we may
