After signing up there's a short onboarding dialog. Three steps, a couple of minutes.

## Step 1 — Verify your email

We send a verification link to the address you signed up with. Open it to continue.

If it hasn't arrived within a few minutes, check your spam folder. There's a resend link on the screen.

This step exists because your email is where everything about your booking arrives — proposals, payment reminders, and messages from your DJ. Confirming it works now prevents a missed reminder later.

## Step 2 — Personal Information

Four fields:

- **First Name**
- **Last Name**
- **Phone Number**
- **Date of Birth**

### Why each one

**Your name** appears on proposals and on the documents you sign, so it needs to be your real name — those documents are the record of your agreement.

**Your phone number** is used for notifications if you enable SMS. Worth having accurate — an SMS about a payment due reaches you when an email doesn't.

**Your date of birth** confirms you meet the minimum age to book.

## Step 3 — All set

A confirmation screen. Select **Complete** and you're into your dashboard.

## Can you skip it?

Onboarding is what moves your account to active. Until it's done, you'll keep landing back in it.

## Changing these later

All of it is editable from **Settings → Account**. See [Updating Your Name, Email, Phone, and Birthdate](/hc/clients/articles/password-reset-and-login-help-clients).

## What DJs see

Not all of it. A DJ you book sees your first name and enough to work with you on the event. See [What Your DJ Can See About You](/hc/clients/articles/1786146323-what-your-dj-can-see-about-you).

## Next

With onboarding done you can send booking requests and message DJs. See [How Booking a DJ Works, Start to Finish](/hc/clients/articles/1786146087-how-booking-a-dj-works-start-to-finish).
