Sec. 1014.4  Requirements for identification of individuals making requests.

    The following proof of identity is required for requests for records 
made pursuant to Sec. 1014.3:
    (a) An individual seeking a record about himself or herself in 
person may establish his or her identity by the presentation of a single 
document bearing a photograph (such as a passport or driver's license) 
or by a presentation of two items of identification which do not bear a 
photograph but do bear both a name and address. An individual who cannot 
provide documentation of his or her identity may provide a written 
statement affirming his or her identity and the fact that he or she 
understands the penalties for making false statements (18 U.S.C. 1001 
and 5 U.S.C. 552a(i)(3)).
    (b) An individual seeking a record by mail shall include a statement 
signed by the individual and properly notarized, that he or she appeared 
before a notary public and submitted proof of identity acceptable to the 
notary public.
    (c) Requests made by an agent, parent, or guardian shall, in 
addition to establishing the identity of the minor or other person he or 
she represents as required by paragraphs (a) and (b), establish his or 
her agency, parentage, or guardianship by documentation.
    (d) In any case in which the Commission determines that the proof of 
identity is not adequate, it may request the
