What Level of Access do you need?

If you are a USDA Federal Employee, the USDA Employee Create an Account page will take you through the steps to create a USDA eAuthentication Employee Account.

If you are a USDA customer (Users who are not USDA Federal Employees), you should answer the following questions to determine if you need Level 1 or Level 2 account access:

Would you like to interact with the USDA doing the following?


  • Conducting official electronic business transactions via the Internet?
  • Entering into a contract with the USDA?
  • Filling out and Submitting electronic forms or applications for USDA via the Internet?

    If you answered YES to 1 or more of the questions, you will need to register for an eAuthentication account with Level 2 Access.

    If you already have a Level 1 eAuthentication account and need Level 2 Access, then log into your profile and select "Apply for Customer Level 2 Authentication". No need to create a new account, simply upgrade from Level 1 to Level 2.

    Would you like to interact with the USDA doing the following?


  • Utilizing an application or USDA web portal that indicates a Level 1 account is needed?
  • Obtaining general information about a specific USDA agency?
  • Participating in public surveys for a USDA agency?

    If you answered YES to 1 or more of these questions, you will need to register for an eAuthentication account with Level 1 Access.
