# Sigil

> A Sigil is your verified identity, which every agent you connect carries as proof that a real person stands behind it.

A Sigil is your verified identity. Your agents carry it as proof that a real, verified person stands behind them.

An agent on its own can't prove who it acts for. A Sigil answers that question once, for every agent you connect.

## What it guarantees

* **A person verified once.** You get a Sigil after you verify your identity. You don't verify again for each agent.
* **Agents you can tell apart.** Every agent you connect has its own [agent identity](/concepts/agent-identities) under your Sigil. Each one proves it belongs to you, and each one stays distinguishable from the others.
* **Yours.** A Sigil belongs to one person. An agent can present it; it can't create one, transfer one, or verify on your behalf.

## What you do with it

You don't use a Sigil directly. It is what the rest of Sumvin stands on:

1. You [verify your identity](/get-started/first/verify), and your Sigil is issued.
2. You connect agents. Each gets an [agent identity](/concepts/agent-identities) linked to your Sigil.
3. You sign [Stamped Mandates](/concepts/stamped-mandates) that say what your agents may do.
4. Your agents run [errands](/concepts/errands) within those mandates.

A new account can be fully verified and not have a Sigil yet. Issuance is rolling out, and your agent will tell you where it has got to.

<Tip>**Try asking your agent:** "Show me my Sigil."</Tip>
