Start by messaging our WhatsApp bot to begin registration. Our AI-powered system will instantly check if your number is already linked to an existing profile.
This step sets up your personal profile. Your details are securely stored and used only for the verifications you request and give consent for.
To protect your information and comply with legal requirements, you’ll need to verify your identity and provide digital consent before we can begin any verification process.
Once your profile is set up and consent is confirmed, you can begin your verifications—whether it’s a criminal record check, ID verification, or any of our other verifications. It’s fast, secure, and fully guided.
Once your verifications are selected, you'll receive a secure online payment link to finalize your request. This ensures a smooth, fast, and secure process.
Let us simplify your background screening, compliance, and admin tasks so you can focus on what matters most. Save time, stay compliant, and streamline your workflow today.
At the heart of our service is simplicity and security. Our AI-powered WhatsApp bot puts the power of verification right in your hands, making background checks and validations quicker, easier, and more reliable than ever. Here’s a closer look at the comprehensive range of services you can access seamlessly from your phone:
Protect your reputation and fulfill employment, licensing, or regulatory requirements with our fast and accurate criminal record checks — trusted by individuals and organizations across South Africa.
If you don’t already have a profile on VerifySA, you’ll need to create one and complete the identification process first. After that, you must make an appointment with one of our local agents to capture your biometrics (fingerprints and photo). This biometric capture process is required only once.
For all future criminal record checks, you won’t need to capture your biometrics again—simply use your existing profile to request new checks quickly and conveniently through our WhatsApp bot.
A criminal record check is valid for 1 year from the date of issue. You will receive a reminder notification before it expires, so you can renew it on time without hassle.
When renewing, you do not need to repeat the biometric process. You can simply resubmit your verification via WhatsApp, or contact us and we’ll handle the resubmission on your behalf.
Turnaround times depend on the package you choose:
Standard: within 24 hours
Premium: within 4 hours
Priority: within 90 minutes
Additionally, you can use our criminal record checks service to complete the clearance requirements for your SACE (South African Council for Educators) registration or renewal process, making it easier to meet the education sector’s compliance standards.
Our ID Verification service ensures that your identity is legitimate and validated against official government records — giving you and the organisations you deal with complete confidence.
Once you have a VerifySA profile, requesting an ID verification is fast and effortless. Simply log in via our WhatsApp bot, select the ID Verification option, pay securely online, and you’ll automatically receive a verified report pulled directly from the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) database.
This report confirms:
That your ID number is valid and active
That it matches your full name and date of birth
A photo of you as recorded in the DHA system, giving further visual confirmation of your identity
Why this matters:
ID fraud is a growing problem in South Africa. Our real-time validation directly from DHA ensures that your identity cannot be spoofed, altered, or misrepresented. This is especially useful for:
Job applications
Bank account openings
Remote onboarding
Digital KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements
Rental agreements or high-value purchases
Your verification report is delivered instantly after payment and is available for you to download or share as a secure PDF.
The best part? No biometric appointment is required for this process — it's 100% digital and accessible from your phone.
Verify academic credentials quickly and reliably to ensure legitimacy for employment, licensing, or further study. Our Qualification Validation service confirms whether a qualification is authentic, issued by an accredited institution, and properly registered.
Once you’ve created your VerifySA profile, you can request a qualification check directly through our WhatsApp bot. You’ll need to supply the required information regarding the qualification you wish to validate, such as:
Institution name
Qualification type (e.g., diploma, degree, certificate)
Field of study
Year of completion
Student or reference number (if available)
Our system then works with national databases and academic registrars to confirm the status of the qualification.
This service is ideal for:
Job seekers needing to verify qualifications for employment
Employers validating applicant credentials
Professionals completing regulatory or licensing checks
Once completed, you’ll receive a comprehensive verification report confirming the legitimacy of the qualification, helping reduce fraud and improve trust in your academic record.
Our PDP Check service confirms the status of a driver’s permit directly against the Department of Transport's records, providing assurance that the permit is valid, up-to-date, and appropriate for the type of vehicle being operated (e.g., passenger, goods, or dangerous goods).
Once you have a VerifySA profile, you can request a PDP verification through our WhatsApp bot by providing:
The driver’s ID number
License number
We’ll validate the following:
That the PDP is currently valid
The expiry date of the permit
The vehicle classes the driver is permitted to operate under the PDP
Any restrictions or endorsements attached to the permit
This check is essential for individuals who want to prove the validity of their license in situations like insurance, employment, or rental applications.
Once you’ve created your VerifySA profile, you can request a driver’s license check easily via our WhatsApp bot. To complete the request, you’ll be asked to provide:
Your ID number
Drivers license number
We then validate your license against the National Traffic Information System (NaTIS) to confirm:
License validity and current status (valid, expired, suspended, or cancelled)
The expiry date
The vehicle classes the license holder is authorized to drive
Whether there are any restrictions, endorsements, or disqualifications
This check is especially useful for:
Transport and logistics companies verifying the credentials of their drivers
Job seekers applying for roles that require a valid license
Rental agencies verifying a customer's eligibility
Fleet insurance requirements
A detailed verification report is provided once the check is complete. No biometric appointment is necessary — everything can be handled digitally and securely via WhatsApp
Responsible firearm ownership starts with verified competency and up-to-date licensing. Our firearm verification services help individuals stay compliant with South African firearm laws by simplifying both competency and license renewal checks.
Before you can legally own or carry a firearm in South Africa, you must complete training and receive a Firearm Competency Certificate issued by the SAPS (South African Police Service).
Our verification service confirms:
That your competency certificate is valid and registered with the authorities
The type(s) of firearms you are certified to use (e.g., handgun, shotgun, rifle)
The issue and expiry dates
That the certificate matches your ID and profile information
This is essential for individuals applying for a firearm license, working in armed security, or needing to confirm firearm authorization for work-related purposes.
A firearm license must be renewed before the expiry date to remain valid and avoid legal penalties. We help you stay compliant by verifying the current status of your license and sending renewal reminders.
Our system checks:
License number and status
Expiry date and firearm type(s) covered under the license
Whether the license is active, expired, pending renewal, or revoked
Once you have a VerifySA profile, you can request both types of checks easily through our WhatsApp bot. If any updates are needed, our system can notify you well in advance of upcoming expiries so you can act on time — ensuring you're always compliant with firearm legislation.
Both services offer fast, secure reporting to support legal applications, employment, security clearance, and peace of mind.
Working in South Africa’s private security industry requires PSIRA registration — and we make it easy to verify. Whether you're a security officer, armed response professional, or hiring a security team, verifying PSIRA credentials is critical for legal compliance and public safety.
The Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) governs and monitors the private security sector in South Africa. Anyone working in security — including guards, armed personnel, control room operators, and security company directors — must be registered and in good standing with PSIRA.
Once you've created your VerifySA profile, you can request a PSIRA verification directly through our WhatsApp bot. We’ll guide you step-by-step and collect the following details:
Your ID number
We then verify your registration with the PSIRA database and confirm:
Your registration status (Active / Suspended / Expired)
The grade or level you’re registered under (e.g., Grade A, B, C, etc.)
Whether you're authorized for armed/unarmed duties
Any compliance issues, disciplinary status, or suspensions
Job seekers in the security industry can use the verified report to prove credentials to employers
Employers can prevent fraud by confirming that guards and applicants are officially registered
Clients hiring security services gain peace of mind knowing their personnel are properly certified
Your verification report can be shared or stored digitally, and turnaround times are fast — depending on the service package you choose (Standard, Premium, or Priority). No biometric appointment is required for this process.
Stay compliant, stay protected — with PSIRA verifications made simple.
Planning to get married? A Marital Status Check is a legal requirement in South Africa before registering your marriage. This verification confirms whether an individual is legally single, married, divorced, or widowed — helping prevent fraud, illegal marriages, and disputes.
Before you can officially register a marriage with the Department of Home Affairs, both parties must prove their current marital status. This prevents scenarios where someone may unknowingly or unlawfully enter a second or fraudulent marriage.
Our Marital Status Check helps you:
Confirm your current marital status as per the Department of Home Affairs records
Obtain a valid document that can be submitted for marriage registration
Identify if there are any pending or unfinalized marital records (e.g., ongoing divorce not yet processed)
Support applications for civil unions, spousal visas, or estate matters
Once you’ve created your VerifySA profile, simply request the check via our WhatsApp bot, make payment online, and your request will be processed securely. You’ll receive:
A digital verification document stating your marital status
This is also ideal for:
Legal professionals and marriage officers
Immigration or visa applications
Estate planning and wills
Stay protected and compliant — verify before you tie the knot.
