The default to use for the check level when signing a key.
0 means you make no particular claim as to how carefully you verified
the key. 1 means you believe the key is owned by the person who
claims to own it but you could not, or did not verify the key at all.
This is useful for a "persona" verification, where you sign the key of
a pseudonymous user. 2 means you did casual verification of the key.
For example, this could mean that you verified that the key
fingerprint and checked the user ID on the key against a photo ID. 3
means you did extensive verification of the key. For example, this
could mean that you verified the key fingerprint and checked the user
ID on the key against a photo ID, and also verified the email address
on the key belongs to the key owner.

3 means you did extensive verification of the key. For example, this
could mean that you verified the key fingerprint with the owner of the
key in person, and that you checked, by means of a hard to forge
document with a photo ID (such as a passport) that the name of the key
owner matches the name in the user ID on the key, and finally that you
verified (by exchange of email) that the email address on the key
belongs to the key owner.
Note that the examples given above for levels 2 and 3 are just that:
examples. In the end, it is up to you to decide just what "casual"
and "extensive" mean to you.
