What is Passport Verification?
Passport Verification is the process of validating an individual's passport details by cross-checking them with official government databases.
With Decentro's Passport Verification API, businesses can instantly verify whether a passport is genuine, active, and belongs to the right person, all happening in real time. This verification process helps eliminate identity fraud, ensures compliance with KYC and AML guidelines, and streamlines onboarding for both global and domestic users.
What Makes Our Passport Verification API Different?
Decentro's Passport Verification API uses direct government database integration to perform highly accurate, real-time passport validation in seconds. Unlike document upload-based tools that rely on OCR or image scanning, our API cross-checks the passport file number and date of birth against official records, confirming authenticity, active status, and identity — with 99.99% uptime and sub-3-second response times.
