Membership verification is NOT required to purchase Member Only Items on Costco.com.

When registering your account on Costco.com, it’s important to verify your identity to ensure the security and privacy of your personal information.

To complete the one-time online verification process, follow the instructions below:

  1. After signing in or registering on Costco.com, click the Verify Membership link on your Account Details page to begin the one-time verification process.
  2. Enter your membership number.
  3. Enter your first name, last name, and ZIP code.
  4. Answer questions to verify your membership.*
  5. After correctly answering the questions, you’ll be able to view and edit features associated with your membership.

Unable to Successfully Verify Your Account?

Please complete the following steps:

  1. Visit the membership counter at your local Costco warehouse or use the Contact Us options on this page.
  2. Provide your membership card and photo ID at the membership counter. They will send you an email containing a link valid for 48 hours. If you don’t see the email, be sure to check your spam or junk folder.
  3. Upon receipt of your email, follow the steps provided to create a new password and access your membership account.


*Questions used to confirm your identity and allow you to access your membership information online are provided by a third-party public records service. Costco does not have access to the questions or your answers, and Costco only receives a Pass or Fail notification from the third-party service. This process is necessary for the security and privacy of your personal information.
