Address Verification.

A candidate's address is a key component of identity validation, compliance checks, and fraud prevention.

Confirm that candidates live (or previously lived) at the address they provide with verified accuracy.

Get Started

1. What We Verify

Incorrect or fabricated addresses can indicate identity fraud, false employment claims, or attempts to avoid background screening.

Current residential address

Previous residential addresses (if required)

Address history timeline

Legal occupancy or residency proof

Utility and financial document authenticity

Matching identity and address details

Address existence and validity

This strengthens the overall integrity of the candidate's identity profile.

2. How Address Verification Works

Our address verification process combines document-based checks with database validation to ensure accuracy.

2.1 Candidate Address Submission

The candidate provides the address(es) they have lived at, along with supporting documentation such as:

Utility bills
Bank statements
Government letters
Tax letters
Rental agreements

These documents are uploaded securely to begin the verification process.

2.2 Document Authenticity Checks

We review all documents for:

Valid issue dates
Accurate formatting
Watermarks and security features
Document consistency
Signs of tampering or digital manipulation
Address-to-name matching

Suspicious documents are flagged immediately for further review.

2.3 Database & Registry Lookup

Where available, we verify address details through:

National address registries
Postal service databases
Municipal or regional databases
Authorised third-party address validation services

This confirms that the address exists and is correctly recorded.

2.4 Cross-Matching Identity & Address Data

We ensure consistency across:

Candidate identity details
Address history timeline
Employment history
Right-to-work documentation
Criminal background check details (if applicable)

This ensures the candidate is traceable and transparent.

2.5 Historical Address Verification (Optional)

For roles requiring enhanced screening, we can verify address history over:

3 years
5 years
7+ years

This is particularly important in regulated industries.
