# User-IDs
User-IDs are identities that users go by. A User-ID might be a name, an email address or both.
User-IDs can also contain both and even have a comment.
In general, the format of a User-ID is not fixed, so it can contain arbitrary strings.
However, it is agreed upon to use the
Below is a selection of possible User-IDs:
```
Firstname Lastname (Comment) <email@address.tld>
Firstname Lastname
Firstname Lastname (Comment)
<email@address.tld>
```
PGPainless comes with a builder class `UserId`, which can be used to safely construct User-IDs:
```java
UserId nameAndEMail = UserId.nameAndEmail("Jane Doe", "jane@pgpainless.org");
assertEquals("Jane Doe <jane@pgpainless.org>", nameAndEmail.toString()):
UserId onlyEmail = UserId.onlyEmail("john@pgpainless.org");
assertEquals("<john@pgpainless.org>", onlyEmail.toString());
UserId full = UserId.newBuilder()
.withName("Peter Pattern")
.withEmail("peter@pgpainless.org")
.withComment("Work Address")
.build();
assertEquals("Peter Pattern (Work Address) <peter@pgpainless.org>", full.toString());
```
