# Verifying reCAPTCHA on the Backend

## Step 5 - Backend Verification

The **SSK Form Component** handles backend reCAPTCHA token verification through server actions. When the form is submitted, the reCAPTCHA token is sent to the backend, where it's validated automatically.

To verify the token, ensure your backend environment has the necessary reCAPTCHA keys configured. You will need to call the `verifyRecaptcha` function within your server action handling the form submission, like this:

```typescript
await verifyRecaptcha(formData.get('token'))
```

This function securely processes and validates the token, ensuring that the submission meets reCAPTCHA's security criteria.
