# Account Verification

Account Verification refers to the process of verifying your identity within the app. Account verification is optional for app users who do not have a StableCare membership.

StableCare members are required to complete account verification only if they need to report a theft and activate their theft protection benefit. In other words, you can purchase a StableCare membership, never experience a theft, and as a result never need to verify your identity. We respect your privacy, and only require account verification when it is absolutely necessary.
