IDfy Background Verification provides digital workforce screening from onboarding through ongoing monitoring. Checks cover identity, legal history, credentials, employment, education, references, resumes, and addresses. Identity options include Aadhaar–PAN linkage, face comparison, AML, sanctions, and adverse media. Legal screening uses digital court records, e-FIR extraction across jurisdictions, and expert-validated legal-history review. Address checks may be digital or video-based, with physical checks where required. Continuous monitoring can watch court records and e-FIRs, use face match and liveness to detect impersonation, and alert teams to emerging legal or behavioural risk. IDfy states turnaround times of 3 hours for pre-employment checks and 5 days for detailed verifications. It describes automation using fuzzy logic, AI/ML, and LLMs with zero human intervention, and says the service supports 10K+ candidates onboarded daily.
