About this API

Voter ID remains one of the most widely held identity documents in India, especially among blue-collar and rural workforces. The Voter ID Verification API confirms the EPIC number is genuine and returns the elector's registered details for comparison with what the candidate declared.

Because the record carries a registered address and constituency, it doubles as a lightweight address corroboration when a full physical address verification is not warranted.

Typical uses

Blue-collar hiring. Identity proof for factory, security and facilities staff.
Tenant screening. Identity plus registered address for rental onboarding.
Gig workforce. Alternative ID for partners who cannot provide other documents.
Financial inclusion KYC. Accepted officially valid document for basic accounts.

Questions

Is the state field required?: It is optional but improves match accuracy for older EPIC formats that are not nationally unique.
Can this replace a physical address check?: It corroborates the registered address but does not confirm the person currently lives there. For current-residence proof, pair it with emver's digital or physical address verification.
How current is the data?: The lookup runs against the electoral roll as published by the Election Commission and reflects the latest revision available.
