Digital Address Verification

Contact & Address

Verify a residential address with geo-tagged, timestamped photos captured by the person.

Send a link; the person captures photos of their home, nameplate and surroundings from the address itself. Location, time and device signals are checked for spoofing, the images are analysed and the result is a verified address with evidence, in hours instead of the days a field visit takes.

About this API

Physical address verification is slow and expensive. Digital Address Verification puts the capture in the person's hands and the anti-spoofing in ours: GPS and timestamp checks on every photo, detection of static or drive-by captures, landmark and nameplate analysis, and a reviewer queue for anything borderline.

The outcome arrives by webhook with the evidence pack, and can escalate to a physical visit through emver when the digital result is inconclusive.

Consent. The person captures the evidence themselves after consenting to location and photo collection; the consent record is stored with the case.

Typical uses

Employee background checks. Current and permanent address for the personnel file.
Gig partner onboarding. Verify the address riders operate from.
Lending. Address proof for loan files without a visit.
Tenant screening. Confirm previous residence.

Questions

What if the person is not at the address?: The link stays valid for the window you set and reminders are sent automatically. If they cannot capture, escalate to a physical verification.
How is spoofing prevented?: Each photo carries GPS and time metadata that is checked against the declared address and the capture session; static images, screenshots and drive-by captures are detected and flagged.
