10.6—How to identify yourself.
(a)
If you make your request in person, or if you wish to review your records in person, you must identify yourself to the system manager or the Agency Records Officer (or to a person designated by one of those officials) by showing at least one identification document containing your picture (for example, employee identification card, driver's license, passport), or at least two identification documents containing your signature, or other identification acceptable to the official concerned.
(b)
If you make your request in writing, you must supply information that will help to verify your identity (for example, signature, employee identification number, date and place of birth), and you may also be required to provide the certificate of a notary public or other official authorized to administer oaths.
(c)
Whether making your request in person or in writing, if you cannot identify yourself to the satisfaction of the system manager or the Agency Records Officer (or the person designated by one of those officials), you may be asked to make and sign a written statement asserting your identity and indicating that you understand that knowingly and willfully requesting or obtaining access to any record about another individual under false pretenses is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 (5 U.S.C. 552a(i)(3) ).
