About this API

Professional credentials are frequently claimed and rarely verified. The ICAI Membership Verification API checks the membership number directly with the institute and returns the registered member name, whether the membership is active and the type of membership held.

Use it in finance hiring, when appointing statutory auditors or tax consultants, and in vendor onboarding for accounting firms.

Typical uses

Finance and audit hiring. Verify CA credentials for controllers, CFO-track and audit roles.
Auditor and consultant appointment. Confirm the firm's partners hold active membership.
Lender and regulator submissions. Validate certifying accountants on financial documents.
Staffing agencies. Credential check before placing finance professionals.

Questions

Does it verify certificate of practice?: The response returns membership status and type. Practice status is reflected in the membership type where the institute records it.
Can I verify other professional bodies?: ICAI is available via API today. Other credential verifications are handled through emver's education and professional verification services.
