FirstNet eligibility verification

When you sign up for FirstNet and during reverification, you must provide documentation to AT&T so we can verify your eligibility.

Eligibility documents

Our commitment is to provide you with the only network built with and for first responders and those who support them.

  • Need to verify new FirstNet service or reverify existing service?

     You can sign in to upload the required documents and complete the process.

  • Have FirstNet service but have changed jobs and are no longer eligible?

    Visit your local AT&T store or chat with FirstNet support to learn how to move your service to an AT&T consumer rate plan.

Note: You have 30 days from the date you receive the first eligibility verification email or text to submit the required documents. FirstNet Account Management will send you email and text reminders every 5 days for 30 days.

If you don’t take action or we cannot otherwise verify your eligibility, your FirstNet service will be hot lined. This will route all outgoing voice calls you make to FirstNet support. A FirstNet agent will then help you reverify your eligibility, move you to an AT&T consumer rate plan, or cancel your FirstNet service.

Impacts to eligibility

What happens if we can’t verify your FirstNet eligibility

If you can’t provide the required documentation or take no action, your FirstNet outgoing calls will be routed to FirstNet support. An agent will help you with eligibility verification questions. If you are no longer eligible, the FirstNet agent will either move you to an AT&T consumer rate plan or cancel your FirstNet service.
SIM updates
If you have an eSIM capable device, it will be moved from a FirstNet SIM to an AT&T eSIM. It will lose access to the FirstNet network.
Plan updates If you choose to move to an AT&T consumer rate plan, your plan will be moved from FirstNet to one of these plans. If you have a:
