FAQ
Address Lookup questions
What does Address Lookup return?
A matching result can return up to three recorded physical address lines and a postal code. Field availability depends on the source record.
Does the result prove where someone currently lives?
Treat the result as a last-known recorded address. Proof of current residence needs a separate document or verification process.
What information do I need to run a lookup?
You need a valid South African ID number, authority to use it, and a documented lawful purpose for the search.
What happens when no address is available?
The result records that an address was not found. Your team receives a clear completed-search outcome.
Can I connect Address Lookup to my system?
Yes. The VerifyNow API returns an address_found value and the available address fields. The API documentation includes the request and response contract.
