## Step 2: Select Verification Method

You can choose between two methods of verification:

1. **Standard ID Verification**\
   Use a government-issued ID to confirm your identity through **Sumsub** our trusted KYC provider.
2. **Decentralized Identity Verification (DID)**\
   Verify your identity using our Decentralized Identity solution powered by **Socious**, an Intersect enterprise member.
