Identity & Address Verification
Identity and address verification forms the foundation of any background check. We authenticate government-issued identification documents and confirm residential addresses to establish a candidate's true identity.
What Is Identity & Address Verification?
Identity verification confirms that a candidate is who they claim to be by authenticating government-issued identification documents such as National Identity Cards (NICs), passports, driving licenses, and birth certificates. Address verification confirms current and past residential addresses through database checks and, where necessary, physical field visits.
In Sri Lanka, identity fraud can range from using another person's NIC to providing false address information. Our verification process uses multiple data sources and cross-referencing techniques to detect and flag such discrepancies.
What We Verify
Why Identity Verification Matters
Identity verification is the foundation of the entire background check process. If a candidate's identity cannot be confirmed, no other verification — employment, education, or criminal — can be considered reliable. Establishing a candidate's true identity protects your organization from fraud, impersonation, and the legal complications that arise from hiring someone under a false identity.
