## Show verification modal

Use `stripe.verifyIdentity` to display an [Identity](/identity.md) modal that securely collects verification information.

This method returns a `Promise` which resolves with a result object.
If this method fails, the result object will contain a localized error message in the `error.message` field.

**Syntax:** `stripe.verifyIdentity(...)`

- `clientSecret` (string) **required**
  The [client secret](/api/identity/verification_sessions/object.md#identity_verification_session_object-client_secret) of the `VerificationSession`.

### Show verification modal

```js
var stripe = Stripe('{TEST_PUBLISHABLE_KEY}');

// Call your backend to create the VerificationSession
fetch('/create-verification-session', {
  method: 'POST',
})
.then(function(response) {
  return response.json();
})
.then(function(verificationSession) {
  return stripe.verifyIdentity(verificationSession.client_secret);
})
.then(function(result) {
  // If `verifyIdentity` fails due to a browser or network
  // error, you should display the localized error message to your
  // customer using `error.message`.
  if (result.error) {
    alert(result.error.message);
  }
});
```

```es_next
const stripe = Stripe('{TEST_PUBLISHABLE_KEY}');

// Call your backend to create the VerificationSession
const response = await fetch('/create-verification-session', { method: 'POST' });
const verificationSession = await response.json();

// When the user clicks on the button, open the Identity modal.
const {error} = await stripe.verifyIdentity(verificationSession.client_secret);

if (error) {
  // If `verifyIdentity` fails due to a browser or network
  // error, display the localized error message to your customer
  // using `error.message`.
}
```
