Passport Verification API

Passport verification is a premium identity check used in high-value customer onboarding, international banking, travel services, and immigration compliance. The Indian passport, issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, is one of the most trusted identity documents globally and contains critical information including the holder's name, date of birth, place of birth, nationality, passport number, issue date, and expiry date.

digiverification 's Passport Verification API enables real-time validation of Indian passport details. The API verifies the passport number against official records, confirming its authenticity and current status. It returns the holder's full name, date of birth, passport type, issue date, expiry date, and file number — enabling businesses to verify identity with high confidence.

For banks and financial institutions, passport verification is often required for NRI (Non-Resident Indian) account opening, foreign exchange transactions, and international wire transfers. FEMA and RBI regulations mandate passport verification for certain categories of financial transactions involving non-resident Indians and foreign nationals.

Travel and hospitality companies use passport verification for booking validation, visa assistance services, and compliance with government reporting requirements. Hotels, airlines, and travel aggregators can automate guest verification using our API, reducing manual checking while meeting Ministry of Tourism and Bureau of Immigration compliance requirements.

Insurance companies use passport verification for international travel insurance policies, where verifying the passport's validity period is essential for policy issuance. Expired or soon-to-expire passports may affect coverage eligibility and claims processing.

Our Passport Verification API also supports passport-to-PAN and passport-to-Aadhaar cross-verification, enabling multi-document identity validation for enhanced due diligence. This is particularly valuable for high-value transactions, premium banking services, and enhanced KYC requirements.

The API delivers results in real-time with enterprise-grade reliability. Integration is straightforward through our RESTful API with comprehensive documentation.
