How can I verify the identity of the Child CDA member and/or the siblings?

Approved Institutions can identify the Child Development Account (CDA) member through the child’s name embossed on the CDA NETS card. If details on the NETS card is insufficient for verification, AI can further verify by asking parent to login to Baby Bonus Online for their child's CDA details.

Please note that an AI (excluding pharmacies) must verify and record the sibling relationship for CDA NETS transactions above $500 or recurring CDA GIRO transactions, which are incurred for the CDA member’s sibling.

The verification of the sibling relationship can be done, for example, by asking the parent to declare in writing the relationship between the member and the member’s sibling, or asking the parent to login to the Parent Portal via [Baby Bonus Online](Click “View/Update My Baby Bonus Details” > Click “View Statement” > “CDA Details”).

Alternatively, you may provide your children’s birth certificates for verification by the AI.
