Identity verification is completed through trusted, state‑approved technology, ensuring every appointment is safe and compliant.

A laptop or desktop works best.

Tablets and phones are acceptable if they meet platform requirements.

3. Ensure a Stable Internet Connection

A strong, reliable connection helps prevent interruptions during your session.

Good lighting helps with ID verification and ensures a smooth experience.

6. Arrive a Few Minutes Early

This gives you time to complete the identity check and get settled before the session begins.
