# Getting started

Everything in Lexpoint starts with an account and a profile. This section takes you from a blank
sign-up form to a dashboard that is actually telling you something.

Expect the first pass to take about fifteen minutes. You do not need documents to begin — you need
facts about your work, education, and language results. Documents come later, and only when a
representative asks for them.
