# Verifier journey

> The end-to-end flow for verifying credentials a user already holds.

As a verifier, you decide what proof to ask for, put the request in front of the user, and read the response when it arrives. The full flow:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Browse presentation presets">
    Find a published request shape: which credential type to ask for, and which issuers' credentials count as proof.

    See [Browse presentation presets](/products/didx-me/guides/verifiers/browse-presentation-presets).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the request">
    Create a one-time presentation request from the preset. The platform handles the trust list and everything else for you.

    See [Create a presentation request](/products/didx-me/guides/verifiers/create-presentation-request).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deliver the request">
    Get the request to the user, either by email or username, or as a QR code or deeplink rendered in your own UI.

    See [Deliver via identifier](/products/didx-me/guides/verifiers/deliver/via-identifier) or [Deliver out of band](/products/didx-me/guides/verifiers/deliver/out-of-band).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the presentation">
    Once the user responds, retrieve the result and the data they shared. The credential's signature has already been validated end to end.

    See [Verify presentation](/products/didx-me/guides/verifiers/verify-presentation).
  </Step>
</Steps>

You typically don't onboard users. They bring credentials issued elsewhere, and you decide which issuers count as proof.

<Tip>
  Want to publish a request shape so it can be referenced by name? See [Create a presentation
  preset](/products/didx-me/guides/verifiers/create-presentation-preset). Need a one-off custom shape outside the preset
  catalogue? See [Custom presentation template](/products/didx-me/guides/verifiers/create-presentation-template).
