What the ICAI Membership Verification API does

Professional credentials are frequently claimed and rarely verified. The ICAI Membership Verification API checks the membership number directly with the institute and returns the registered member name, whether the membership is active and the type of membership held.

Use it in finance hiring, when appointing statutory auditors or tax consultants, and in vendor onboarding for accounting firms.

Benefits of the ICAI Membership Verification API

Institute-verified

Straight from the professional body, not a scanned certificate.

Name on record

Compare the declared name with the member registry.

Catches lapsed members

Suspended or removed memberships are flagged.

Real-time

No emails to the institute or waiting on certificate copies.
