Digital Address Verification in India: Fast, Reliable & Contactless with OnGrid
In today’s digital-first world, the ability to verify someone’s address remotely, accurately, and securely has become a necessity for businesses, especially during hiring or customer onboarding. The traditional method—sending agents to physically verify addresses—is not only time-consuming and expensive, but also unreliable in rural or hard-to-reach locations.
That’s where digital address verification comes into play, and OnGrid is leading the charge in India with its contactless, API-powered, and consent-driven solution.
Why Address Verification Matters
Whether you're onboarding a new employee, KYC-ing a customer, or validating gig workforce information, confirming a person’s current address helps:
Prevent identity fraud
Ensure regulatory compliance (especially in BFSI and telecom)
Build trust with your customers or workforce
Reduce operational risk
In sectors like financial services and logistics, knowing where your customers, agents, or gig workers reside is not just a formality—it’s a key compliance and risk requirement.
What is Digital Address Verification?
Digital address verification uses technology-driven methods to verify the residential address of an individual remotely. Instead of deploying field agents, the system uses:
Geo-tagged photos or video
Live user interaction (self-recorded)
AI for facial and location match
Consent-based data capture
OnGrid’s platform enables this seamlessly using a mobile-first interface, ensuring the individual verifies their address through a short guided video capturing the surroundings and geolocation. No physical visits. No paperwork. Just fast, secure verification.

Here’s how it works:
Initiate Verification: The employer or business sends a request to the individual via OnGrid’s secure platform.
User Consent & Capture: The individual records a short video showing their face and home exterior. The video is time-stamped and geo-tagged.
AI & Analyst Review: OnGrid’s system checks for anomalies (e.g., mismatched locations, GPS spoofing) and passes it to a quality control analyst if needed.
Instant Results: Most verifications are completed within hours, not days.
