What is NMC Verification?

What is NMC Verification?

NMC Verification is the process of confirming whether a medical professional — typically a doctor or physician — is registered with the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India, the statutory body that regulates and maintains standards of medical education and practice under the National Medical Commission Act, 2019. Every qualified medical practitioner in India must hold a valid NMC registration number to practice medicine legally.

Decentro’s NMC Verification API enables businesses and healthcare platforms to instantly validate a doctor’s credentials by querying their NMC registration number against the official NMC registry — returning the practitioner’s name, registration number, qualification, and registration status in real time, without any document uploads or manual verification.

What Makes Our NMC Verification Different?

What Makes Our NMC Verification Different?

Decentro's NMC Verification API connects directly to the official National Medical Commission registry to return verified practitioner credentials in under 2 seconds — no document uploads, no OCR, no manual review. Unlike basic verification tools that rely on scraped databases or cached records, our API queries the source registry in real time, returning the doctor's full name, registration number, qualification, date of registration, and current status in a single structured response. Built within Decentro's unified professional verification framework, it integrates seamlessly alongside other KYC and professional verification APIs for end-to-end healthcare and workforce onboarding workflows.
