# ID Verification

#### **Providing Proof of Identity and Address**

During our onboarding process, we require you to prove your identity. This helps us verify your details and ensure compliance with local regulations, as well as ensuring you are who you say you are. Below, we explain the types of documents we accept and how to submit them.

Failure to comply with this process, or providing fake documents will disqualify you from the talent community.

**Proof of Identity**

Your proof of identity must be a government-issued document that includes your full name and photograph. Common examples include:

* National ID card
* Passport
* Driver’s license
* Residence permit

If your country does not issue these specific documents, an equivalent government-issued ID is also acceptable. The document must be valid and clearly show your full name, photo, and date of birth.

**How to Submit Documents**

ID check is often handled during the onboarding flow. To complete the check outside of the onboarding flow, navigate to the Settings tab and select [Verify My Identity](https://app.folioworks.com/settings?tab=account).

**How We Handle Your Information Safely**

Folio works with Stripe to securely handle ID verification. Your information is never stored by Folio.
