How to verify your board

In the app, tap I own a Hydrus board.

Bought online from Hydrus

Use the email you ordered your board with. It does not need to match the email you sign in with. We send a code to confirm it is you, then we find your order.

Bought from a shop or a Demo Center

New or used: add your receipt, or a photo of you with your board. A real person on our team checks it.

Bought it secondhand or got it as a gift

Know the order email? Try that first. If not, add the serial number and a photo with the board, and our team checks it.
