# Get identity token

The `getIdentityToken` method returns the signed identity token (JWT) issued by Web3Auth for the current session. Send this token to your backend to verify that the user owns their embedded wallet. See [server-side verification](/embedded-wallets/features/server-side-verification/) for details.

This method throws `Web3AuthError.noUserFound` if no identity token is available for the current session.

note

This method isn't available for users who signed in with an `idToken` (single-factor authentication). SFA sign-in doesn't create session tokens, so the method throws `Web3AuthError.noUserFound`.

## Usage

```swift
do {
    let idToken = try await web3Auth.getIdentityToken()
    // Send idToken to your backend for verification
} catch {
    print(error.localizedDescription)
    // Handle error
}

```
