# How do I sign up for Onboard?

Signing up takes just a few minutes:

1. [Download the Onboard app](https://help.onboard.xyz/en/article/how-do-i-download-the-onboard-app-cf3q0j/) and open it
2. Enter your email address
3. If someone referred you, enter their Boardpass code
4. Verify your email with the code we send you
5. Select your country (this determines which features are available to you)
6. Set up your 6-digit passcode
7. You'll have the option to enable passkeys for faster, more secure logins
8. Complete identity verification (you can skip this initially, but it's required to use most features)

**During identity verification:**
1. Enter your phone number and verify via SMS or WhatsApp
2. Enter your address
3. Submit your ID document and a selfie. See a list of valid documents [in this guide](https://help.onboard.xyz/en/article/what-documents-do-i-need-for-the-kyc-verification-1wy741w/).

Verification usually takes just a few seconds. In rare cases, it may take longer if your submission needs a manual review.
