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.

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).
