## <mark style="color:$primary;">How digital ID age verification works</mark>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Download the Yoti app from [Yoti](https://www.yoti.com/personal/), if you do not already have it installed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the **Digital ID** verification method from the available options.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Follow the prompts to continue with Yoti and complete the setup or sign-in steps in the app.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Yoti verifies your digital ID and confirms whether you meet the required age threshold.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If verification is successful, you can enter your email address and create an AgeGO account. This helps you avoid full age verification on future visits to websites that use AgeGO.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
A 6-digit one-time code is sent to your email address. Enter the code to complete the process and access the site. If you do not see the email, check your spam folder.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
This method uses Yoti as a third-party verification provider.
{% endhint %}

## <mark style="color:$primary;">Benefits</mark>

* **Easy:** Only share the fact that you are 18+, nothing else.
* **Secure:** Your digital ID is protected thanks to a secured encryption.
* **No data retention:** Once the verification is completed, none of your data is stored or shared.
