Address Verification
Service Overview
Address verification is a foundational part of any background check. Our field agents visit the candidate's residence and confirm identity and duration of stay with family members or neighbours. For digital verification we capture GPS-tagged photographs and digital signatures, so every visit is independently evidenced.
Physical and digital confirmation of a candidate's current and permanent address through field agents and government databases.
