# Adding a GitLab proof
Let's add a decentralized GitLab proof to your OpenPGP keys. This will also work on self-hosted instances.
[[toc]]
## Post a GitLab proof message
Log in to [gitlab.com](https://gitlab.com) or some other GitLab instance and click on **New project**.
Set the project name to anything you want.
Set the project slug to **gitlab_proof**.
Set the project description to (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
[Verifying my OpenPGP key: openpgp4fpr:FINGERPRINT]
```
After creating the project, copy the link to the project.
## Update the PGP key
First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
`gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT`
Add a new notation:
`notation`
Enter the notation (make sure to update with the link to the project copied above):
`proof@metacode.biz=https://gitlab.example.com/USERNAME/gitlab_proof`
Save the key:
`save`
Upload the key to WKD or use the following command to upload the key to [key.openpgp.org](https://keys.openpgp.org) (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
`gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --send-keys FINGERPRINT`
And you're done! Reload your profile page, it should now show a verified GitLab account.
