Background Verification
Services in India

SBS HR confirms whether a candidate's details are in tandem with what they declared, across identity, court, address, employment, education and more. Every check runs on the candidate's written authorisation and is verified at source, then delivered as a clear, evidence-backed report.

Consent-Based Employee Background Verification With a Signed Letter of Authority

Each engagement starts with a BGV form carrying the candidate's self-declaration and a signed Letter of Authority, empowering the employer to run the relevant checks. That authority flows to SBS HR to carry out verification. It is the lawful foundation of everything below, and it protects both you and the candidate.

Start Verifying

Physical and Digital Address Verification in India

Address verification is often the slowest check. We run it the way the role and timeline demand, in person or fully digital.

Physical

Field-associate visit

An associate visits the address, confirms the candidate stays there with them or their family, and verifies the period of stay against a proof of address.

In-person confirmation
with respondent

Proof of address checked
(Aadhaar masked in report)

Best for roles needing a physical footprint

Digital (DAV)

Agent-free, GPS-matched

An SMS link opens the digital system; the candidate grants GPS and camera access so their live location is matched to the proof-of-address coordinates, with the residence exterior captured.
