Physical Address Verification API

When a digital check is not enough, emver's field network visits the address, confirms the person lives or works there, captures geotagged photos and neighbour confirmation, and delivers the result through the API.

Overview

What the Physical Address Verification API does

An asynchronous check. Submit the address and contact details; the visit is scheduled, completed and reported with photos, GPS coordinates and the verifier's remarks. Track progress through the status endpoint or a webhook.

Consent is part of the contract

The person is informed of the visit and consents to the check; the consent record accompanies the request.
