The risks of identity fraud are high for any business - from exposing clients and financial details to reputational damage that can be very difficult to rectify. Through our various identity verification services for both South African citizens and foreigners, we’ll ensure your potential candidate is who they say they are - and that they have the legal right to work in the country.

Services
ID Verification/ Passport
Verify that a South African ID and/or passport number is valid. We can also verify the nationality of a person through a citizenship check.
Visa/permanent residence verification
If your candidate is a non-SA citizen, verify that they have the legal right to live and work in South Africa.
Other screenings
We can also perform other checks such as a screening history of all the verifications we’ve previously provided, or a marital trace which verifies an individual’s marital status.
