Voter ID Verification

Voter ID verification enables businesses to instantly validate the authenticity of an individual’s voter ID (EPIC) number directly against India’s official electoral records. This allows businesses to fetch complete voter details, including assembly and parliamentary constituency information. This solution is a strong alternative to Aadhaar verification, helping reduce drop-offs in onboarding flows where Aadhaar is unavailable or insufficient.

Verification process

You can verify Voter IDs through two primary methods:

Merchant dashboard: Verify Voter IDs using manual entry or document upload.
- Manual verification: Enter EPIC number to validate against electoral records
- Smart OCR: Upload Voter ID card images for automatic data extraction and verification
REST API: Integrate verification directly into your applications.

Use the Merchant Dashboard to verify Voter ID details:

Manual verification

Log in to the Merchant Dashboard.
Navigate to Secure ID > Other Official Documents > Voter ID.
Enter the voter ID (EPIC) number and click Verify.
Review the returned voter details including constituency and holder information.

Batch verification:

Select Upload File under the Voter ID section.
Upload CSV containing multiple EPIC numbers.
Retrieve verification results in bulk format.

Smart OCR verification

Navigate to Smart OCR > Voter ID Verification.
Upload a scanned Voter ID card (front side) or high-quality image.
Smart OCR automatically detects and extracts key information.

Extracted fields:

Voter ID number (EPIC number)
Full name of the cardholder
Gender and date of birth or age
Father’s/mother’s/husband’s name
Complete address details
Assembly constituency and state
Issuing authority and signature details
QR code data (newer formats)

All verified Voter IDs appear in your dashboard with comprehensive details including name, address, and constituency information.

Integrate Voter ID verification programmatically using the REST API:

Pass the EPIC number and optional name parameter in the request payload.
Receive verification results with complete voter details, constituency information, and validation status.
