To prevent abuse of trust, TOGETHER has the option of identity verification. In this case, a short session is conducted by a TOGETHER employee or contractor, during which an official identification document must be presented.

After the beta, however, this will only be possible for paying users (PRO Plan).
You can do that either in the account or at the top of your own videocard:
