What to bring as proof of eligibility
Paramedics, police officers, and firefighters: Once you’ve logged on to the site ID.me, and authenticated your identity, you will no longer need to bring evidence of eligibility to the dealership. But you will still need to bring your authorization number in addition to a valid driver’s license.
911 dispatchers: You must bring a valid 911 training record or an identification card with your full name in order to use ID.me.
Medical Professionals: Bring your authorization number and Participant’s ID or badge. Additionally, you should also bring a pay stub -- from within the last month-- with the necessary data on it (your full name and name of employer). And lastly, a valid driver’s license.
Program Rules
Authorization Numbers
Participants are given an authorization number every year to buy or contract eligible automobiles. And the program rules state:
- Candidates can receive two authorizations annually.
Once the authorization numbers have been supplied, General Motors will send participants a verification notice, alerting them the authorization number has been sent.
Inducements
Candidates are banned from canvassing or receiving financial compensation for trying to sell authorization numbers or anything else related to the program. Additionally, candidates are prohibited from accepting payment from other dealers. However, candidates may take inducements of lesser value (as much as $50), as long as the inducement is provided to the public.
Titling Limitation
Any vehicle bought or contracted under the program is to be used for personal and noncommercial transportation only by the candidate. It is forbidden to buy or contract a vehicle (under the program) for business purposes.
Automobiles bought or contracted under the program are to be registered, titled, insured. and licensed by the candidate.
