Document verification API

Document checks.
Evidence, connected.

Check Aadhaar, PAN, driving licences and vehicle RCs through one integration. Connect the image, expected details and applicable official record, with clear reasons when something needs review.

WHAT YOU SEND

A clear starting point.

One JPEG up to 2 MiB, the document type, recorded consent and the expected customer details. Identity documents require name and date of birth; RC requires a vehicle registration number.

WHAT YOU GET

Evidence you can use.

A verification decision with applicable image quality, fraud, official-record, identity and face-match checks. A missing or uncertain check remains visible instead of becoming an invented pass.

FROM INPUT TO ANSWER

Three considered steps.

01

Choose the right check

Create an Aadhaar, PAN, driving-licence or RC image session. Each document type has its own server-configured price, held by the session before submission.

02

Read and compare

Cashfree's applicable document and record checks compare evidence with the expected details. Aadhaar requires a readable secure QR for an authoritative pass. OCR alone does not establish authenticity.

03

Explain the outcome

Read passing, failed and unestablished checks together. Use the evidence report to decide the next action: proceed, request a clearer document or send the case for review.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

The details behind the result.

Aadhaar, PAN and driving licence

Compare identity details without treating extracted text as proof. Aadhaar accepts an optional last-four reference, not a full Aadhaar number. Optional expected PAN and licence numbers can be supplied when known.

The same face, when applicable

Link a verified face attempt from the same business and customer within the previous hour. Eligible identity-document comparison is included in the document quote; the original face attempt retains its separate charge.

Vehicle records need context

An RC can name a different registered owner. That is an ownership question for review, not automatic evidence that the applicant's identity is false. RC does not support document-to-face comparison.

Number-based RC lookup

When no usable RC image is available, choose a separately priced registration-number lookup. It returns record evidence, not uploaded-image authenticity or personal identity approval. It never runs as a hidden paid fallback.

BEFORE YOU INTEGRATE

Your questions, answered.

Can Alethic compare a document chain?

Evidence reports compare bound Aadhaar, driving-licence and RC attempts for the same customer. Identity and ownership findings remain distinct. Uncertain or missing evidence needs review; the report does not automatically approve access to your application.

Does the image replace all user inputs?

The document flow still requires expected name and date of birth for identity documents, or a vehicle number for RC. Standalone OCR can help collect readable fields, but uncertain extraction needs confirmation. It does not silently trigger another paid service.

Are PUC, permit, insurance or rental checks included?

No. This API currently covers Aadhaar, PAN, driving licences and vehicle RC. Choose requirements that match the supported evidence and your own onboarding policy.

CLEAR COSTS

See the quote before processing.

One image is one quoted document attempt. Applicable checks, including an eligible requested face comparison, are included in that document price. A processed pass, rejection or review result is charged. A clearer replacement image is a new attempt with a new quote.
