Creating credentials using Login.gov
To assist Treasury’s American Rescue Plan (ARP) program, Treasury is now offering Login.gov
access to Treasury’s American Rescue Plan (ARP) Reporting and Compliance Portal.

Once you have created a Login.gov account, you will be able to access Treasury’s ARP Reporting
and Compliance portal.
     https://portal.treasury.gov/compliance


Users that already have access to Treasury’s portal using ID.me are not required to use Login.gov
and can continue accessing their reporting records through ID.me.

To get started
   1. Identify the Account Administrator for the specific Treasury program you support.

   2. Verify that your account administrator pre-registered you in the portal. If you have received
      an email from the Treasury regarding Login.gov account setup, you are pre-registered and
      may proceed to create an account.

   3. Navigate to https://portal.treasury.gov/compliance, click create an account and follow the
       instructions noted below.

Users may sign in using a pre-existing account or choose the create a new account option.
Creating a new account is a one-time process that includes: 1) verifying your email address,
2) creating a password, and 3) receiving an authentication code. The entire process should take
just a few minutes.



Using an existing Login.gov account
   1. Enter your Login.gov e-mail address into the E-mail Address field.
   2. Enter the password associated with your Login.gov account.
Creating a new Login.gov account
  Step 1: Click ‘Create an account’ (Figure 1). You will be redirected to create an account.

  Step 2: Input your email address, select language preference, and accept the Login.gov ‘Rules
  of Use’ (Figure 2).




   Figure 2: 'Create your account' page

  Step 3: Once you click the Submit button, a new page displays notifying you to check your
  email inbox.
Step 4: If necessary, click Resend or use a different email address for registration (Figure 3).

Step 5: Within your email inbox, confirm you received an email notification email address by

(Figure 4).

Step 6: Once the email address is confirmed, create a new password (Figure 5).




Figure 5: Password creation

Passwords must be at least 12 characters. There are no other restrictions. You can even use
more than one word with spaces to get to 12 characters. Try using a phrase or a series of
words that only you recognize.

Your Login.gov password should be different from passwords you use for other accounts such
as your bank account or email. Using the same password for many accounts makes identity
theft easier.

Step 7: Once the password is provided, set up their multi-factor authentication via one of the
options provided (Figure 6).

Step 8: If the phone authentication method is selected, input a telephone number and select
whether to receive the message via SMS or phone call.

Step 11: After successfully adding a phone number to your account, you will receive screen
informing you are officially signing in for the first time.

Once the account is created, return to the URL:
