The first step of the verification process is to select the country and documents you want to use to verify yourself.

If you want to learn more about how we handle your documents, watch the video [here](/verifying-your-indentity/introduction-1.md)

At this stage you can also switch to your phone to upload your documents and complete the verification process if you'd prefer.
