Change Level of Assurance

The following details are taken from the documentation available on https://spportal.mycas.org.uk

A Citizen can have Level of Assurances 0, 1 or 2 where level 2 is the highest. Any Citizen that registers with MyAccount will get level of Assurance 0 by default. However Service Providers or Local Authorities can upgrade a Citizens level of Assurance to 1 or 2.

Level of Assurance 1 can be upgraded by providing KnownfactCodes and an answer of that Knownfact. Level of Assurance 2 can be upgraded by providing the list of Identity Proofs and Address Proofs verified by Service Providers or Local Authorities

There are two methods supplied for this service on for LoA1 and a second for LoA2
