Address Verification services
Who should be in charge of verifying addresses?
We believe all organizations should address verification checks. This is important because it ensures that both the business as well as the candidates are secure.
When should address verification be done?
At GratsIT, our background screening company in India, we recommend
verifying addresses when screening new candidates. As this not only saves time or helps in identifying
the correct candidates, but also helps in having complete confidence in the candidate's identity.
Types of Address Verification
Our employment verification agency in India comes with two types of Address
Verifications- permanent and temporary addresses.
Permanent Address- is an individual's legal address where he or she is a registered resident along with
the name and it appears in Government documents such as ration cards, voter id cards, passports and
driver's licenses. This address is very important for an individual because this is where a person receives
his/her official documents.
Temporary Address- is any person's home address, where he or she is staying with a friend or relative.
It can either be a rented apartment or a paying guest. Or it can also be a post office box where he/she
can receive any letter.
Is address verification necessary?
Address verification is necessary not only because it comes with various benefits but also because it
saves from the risk of dangers too. Firstly, it helps in sending out letters, legal notices, final settlement
documents and much more to employees.
Secondly, it helps in preventing issues of misgivings such as tracking down defaulters or employees who
go missing after frauding with customer accounts.
Besides, it also helps police and investigation teams in finding criminals who have been involved in any
act of misconduct, thus helping law enforcement authorities.
Address verification is basically done through a field officer. He/ she visits the mentioned address and
verifies everything from ownership to current status. In case of absence, the officer verifies the person
through neighbours.
