What the Passport Verification API does

Passports are widely accepted as identity proof but rarely validated at source. The Passport Verification API checks the number and date of birth you submit against official passport records and returns the registered name and application details for comparison.

It slots neatly into white-collar background verification, where a passport is often the ID a candidate has to hand, and into travel, hospitality and cross-border onboarding flows.

Where it is used

IT & Technology Travel & Hospitality Banks & NBFCs Education

Good to know

Same key and response envelope as every other Profiden API.
Synchronous call: the result comes back in the same request.
Also available as a check inside Profiden cases, with a PDF report.
Sandbox demo hits let you integrate before production billing.

Benefits of the Passport Verification API

Verify Indian passport details against official records.

Source-verified

Validates against the passport authority rather than reading the document with OCR alone.

Name on record

Compare the declared name with the name on file to spot impersonation.

Real-time

No manual document review queue for a check that can complete instantly.

Pairs with DigiLocker

Let the candidate share the digital passport through DigiLocker for a consent-driven, document-backed result.

Passport Verification API: frequently asked questions

What teams ask before adding the Passport Verification API to their integration.

No. This API covers Indian passports. For foreign nationals, Profiden offers global identity and document checks through its verification services.

The passport authority matches on number plus date of birth. Sending both prevents false positives on reissued or similar numbers.

Yes. Combine this API with the DigiLocker flow so the person shares the digitally signed passport document with consent, and the details are verified automatically.
