# Enable ID Evidence storage

> Describes how to enable ID Evidence storage in Docusign account.

To store images of the government-issued IDs captured by the ID verification (IDV) process for each signer, you must have the **Front side of the ID** and **Back side of the ID** options selected.

## Verify and edit your IDV configuration

1. In Docusign eSignature Settings, select **Identity Verification**.

   1. If you do not see a sidebar link named **Identity Verification** under eSignature Settings in your Docusign account, you do not have ID Verification (IDV) enabled. See [ID verification](/docs/esign-rest-api/esign101/concepts/recipients/auth#idv)  for information on enabling IDV in your account.
2. Locate your **Docusign ID Verification** configuration from the list.

   1. If your **Docusign ID Verification** configuration has **Read-only** permission, [create a new IDV configuration](/docs/idevidence-api/idevidence101/enabling-idevidence-storage#create-a-new-idv-configuration).
3. Select **ACTIONS** for the IDV configuration you want to edit and select **Edit**.
4. Under the **Data to save from each Photo ID or Passport verification** section, make sure  that **Front side of the ID** and **Back side of the ID** are selected as shown in the image.

   1. If they are not selected, select the two boxes as per the image.
5. Select **SAVE**.

## Create a new IDV configuration

1. In Docusign eSignature Settings, select **Identity Verification**.
2. Select **ADD CONFIGURATION**.
3. Enter a name (and optional description) for the configuration.
4. For the verification method, select **Docusign ID Verification** from the dropdown menu.
5. Under the **Data to save from each Photo ID or Passport verification** section, select **Front side of the ID** and **Back side of the ID** as shown in the image.
6. Select **SAVE**.
7. [Add your new IDV configuration to a recipient](/docs/idevidence-api/idevidence101/enabling-idevidence-storage#add-your-new-idv-configuration-to-a-recipient).

## Add your new IDV configuration to a recipient

1. Start a new envelope and add documents and recipients as usual.
2. For the recipient for whom you want to request identity verification, select **CUSTOMIZE** then select **Add identity verification**.
3. Select your new IDV configuration from the list of **Identity Verification** methods.
4. Finish preparing your envelope as usual and send it.
