How to Collect Photo ID Verification on WordPress Forms

If you run a WordPress site that needs to verify who someone is before letting them in, you’ve got a real problem to solve.

The good news is that WPForms has a clean way to do this through a regular form. This guide walks through exactly how to build that form.
