# DID Storage

**By default, the DID service does not save the DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) and their corresponding DID documents
that are created**. However, you can enable this feature by using the [DID store service](https://docs.walt.id/enterprise-stack/services/did-store-service/overview.md). Once the DID store service is
attached to the DID service, all created DIDs and their associated DID documents will be stored in the designated DID
store.

There is also the option to attach more then one DID store, in this case the created DIDs & Documents will be stored in
all attached DID stores.

## Link DID Store to DID Service
