# Identification Documents

This feature is available on these plans ([view pricing](https://bookingtimes.com/prices))

	
		
			 **Kick Starter**
		
			 **Nail & Scale**

Identification is shown on the client profile. Identity types are custom and can have weightings meaning the client is required to upload identification documents until 100 points of identity documents have been uploaded. If enabled, this requirement applies to bookings that the client themselves make, not for admins making a booking on their behalf.

## Enable identification to be uploaded

1. Navigate to **Setup** > **Business Detail** > **Clients** > **Identification**
2. Check **Allow identification to be uploaded**.
