With Orb Delivery, an Operator brings an Orb to your location so you can complete World ID verification without visiting a fixed Orb site. You choose a time slot that works for you, and a verified Operator arrives with the Orb during your booked window.
Orb Delivery is currently available in select cities and to eligible users only.
Before you start
- Orb Delivery is currently only available in San Francisco, California.
- This option is for humans who have not already verified their World ID at an Orb.
- You must enable World App location permissions to access this feature.
- You can only have one active order at a time.
What to expect from your session
An Operator will arrive at your location during your booked time window, carrying an Orb. The verification itself takes just a few minutes per person.
Where the meeting happens
- The Operator will not enter private homes or apartments.
- If you're at a home address, plan to meet at your front door or building entrance.
- If you're in an apartment building or hotel, the lobby works well as a meeting point.
- The Operator may call you through the app when they're on their way or nearby — calls are anonymous, and your phone number is not shared.
How to set yourself up for a successful scan
- Find a spot with good, even lighting — avoid standing directly in front of a bright window or in strong sunlight, as this can affect the scan
- Make sure there's enough room to stand comfortably in front of the Orb
- Have your World App open and ready when the Operator arrives
- If you're booking for a group, note that up to 5 people can verify in a single session
