What is Address Verification?
Address Verification is the process of validating a customer’s residential or registered address by extracting and matching official address information from trusted government-issued documents. Instead of relying on user-uploaded proofs or manual checks, businesses can verify address authenticity directly through PAN, Registration Certificate (RC), Driving License (DL), Voter ID, or Passport.
Decentro’s Address Verification API helps you instantly validate customer-entered address details by cross-checking them with real-time data from registered KYC repositories, while ensuring accuracy, compliance, and a friction-free onboarding experience.
What Makes Our Address Verification API Different?
Decentro's Address Verification API uses real-time government database integration to validate customer addresses directly from official KYC documents — no document uploads, no OCR, no manual review. Unlike basic address validation tools that only check pin code formats or postal records, our API cross-references address data from PAN, RC, Driving License, Voter ID, and Passport against registered government repositories in a single unified framework, returning a verified address, match score, and consistency status in under 3 seconds.
