The app will display a Getting ready screen while your account is being set up — this may take a few seconds.

If your device supports passkeys, you'll be prompted to save a passkey for secure, passwordless sign-in across your devices. Tap Continue to save, or Save on Another Device to store it elsewhere.
-
Once your account is created, you'll see an Account created (Welcome to World ID) confirmation screen.
- From here, you can complete any referral code redemption steps and continue to claim a World ID Proof. You can claim Proof of Human by verifying in person at an Orb, or claim Proof of Attributes by adding a supported government ID, such as a passport.
What World ID Proofs let you do
Signing up creates your account. Claiming World ID Proofs lets you prove specific things about yourself to apps without sharing the underlying information. World ID offers three Proofs:
- Proof of Human proves you’re a unique human. It’s the highest level of assurance, backed by the Orb.
- Proof of Attributes proves specific attributes from your government credentials like age or nationality, without revealing anything else.
- Proof of Presence proves you're present with just a selfie. The entire process is privacy-preserving and happens on your mobile device.
Websites and apps which integrate World ID decide which World ID Proofs they accept. You can view your Proofs at any time in World ID app.
