# The Government ID Stamp

human.tech, by the Holonym Foundation, offers a secure and private way to verify your identity using government-issued documents.

## Prerequisites

* A smartphone with a camera and internet
* A current and valid identity document, like a passport or driver’s license​​
* An Ethereum wallet with at least \~$5 on the desired network to cover both payment and gas fees
* A Human Passport account

## Available networks

* Ethereum
* Optimism
* Base
* Aurora
* Avalanche
* Fantom

## Step-by-Step Guide

### Part One: Verify ID for the Holonym Stamp

2. **Connect your wallet**\
   Connect your wallet to a supported network (Ethereum, Optimism, Aurora, Avalanche, Fantom, or Base). Make sure your balance is greater than $5 to cover both the payment and gas fees, which vary by network. 
3. **Proceed with payment**\
   Click "Continue" and confirm your payment.
4. **Scan QR code (desktop users)**\
   If you’re on a desktop, scan the QR code displayed on your screen to use your mobile device’s camera. \
   If you’re using a mobile device, continue directly with the camera.
5. **Verify your identity**\
   Follow the prompts to take a picture of your ID and a selfie.
6. **Mint the Soulbound Token (SBT)**\
   After verification, mint the SBT to the wallet linked to your Passport.
