Adidas does not process credentials directly on its internal servers. Instead, the retailer relies on ID.me, a third-party identity network that cross-references state licensing boards and employer rosters. The verification gateway covers registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, advanced practice registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, and clinical hospital staff alongside certified first responders.
Completing the nursing license verification requires either an active state license number or an official workplace credential. Uploading an unredacted hospital badge, a recent pay stub dated within the last 90 days, or an official state registry document triggers automated optical character recognition. Most applicants clear the portal in under 3 minutes. If an employer uses an unlisted parent network or a non-standard hospital name, verification shifts to a manual document review that can take between 24 and 48 hours.
Once identity checks clear, the system generates a single-use checkout discount code. A common frustration among nurses stems from code expiration: these unique alphanumeric strings remain active for only a short window before expiring. Generating a code without completing the purchase within that session often forces the user to log back into ID.me to request a fresh token.
