# Connecting a Google account to Passport

This guide gives instructions on connecting a Google account to Gitcoin Passport and outlines any known issues.

### Prerequisites

* Google Account
* Gitcoin Passport
  * If you don't already have a Passport setup, you can follow our guide to do that first.

### How to verify your Google account

Step 1: [Go to passport.gitcoin.co](https://passport.gitcoin.co/) and connect your wallet.

Step 2: Click **Connect Account** on the Google stamp card.

Step 5: Return to the passport browser window and confirm your account is now verified.

You can confirm this by seeing the button that previously read as Connect Account will now say **Verified**. Alternatively, [you can inspect the Passport JSON.](https://support.gitcoin.co/gitcoin-knowledge-base/~/changes/u95K1LIg4EpcHUmS8Khm/gitcoin-passport/common-questions/how-to-access-your-passport-json)
