# Enable identity verification

## Verify candidate identities before they begin an assessment

In addition to our [cheating detection capabilities](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/how-does-plagiarism-detection-work?hsLang=en), Coderbyte offers identity verification to help confirm candidate identities before they begin an assessment. Identity verification can be enabled individually for each assessment.

**Note:** Identity verification is available for an additional cost and is not included by default in any subscription plan, including Bundle annual and Enterprise plans.

#### Enabling identity verification

To enable identity verification, open an assessment, click **Edit**, and navigate to **Settings**. Scroll down to locate the identity verification option and enable it.

#### Candidate experience

When identity verification is enabled, candidates will be prompted to verify their identity before beginning the assessment.

Clicking **Verify Identity & Continue** opens a verification window powered by [Veriff](https://www.veriff.com/). Candidates must verify their identity using a government-issued document on the same device and browser they're using to take the assessment.

Once verification is complete, the candidate report will display their verified name, country of residence, and headshot.
