# Verification checks

Learn about the different verification checks supported by Stripe Identity.

Stripe Identity supports six types of verification checks: document, selfie, ID number, address, phone, and email.

Each verification check requires different information from your user, has different coverage, and has a different verification flow. After you integrate one check, you can add another with minimal changes to your integration.

## Before you begin

- [Activate Stripe Identity](https://dashboard.stripe.com/identity/application) in the Dashboard.
- Set up a [server-side Stripe SDK](https://docs.stripe.com/sdks/server-side.md).

# Address (Invite only)


Address checks compare a user’s name and date of birth with records associated with their address, check whether the address can receive mail, or both. Hosted verification flows collect the required information. Headless verifications use information you’ve already collected.
