Identity Verification (KYC) Overview

AuthSetu provides instant, compliant identity verification APIs designed specifically for Indian businesses. With sub-second response times, deterministic sandbox fixtures, and normalized response structures, integrating verification takes minutes.

Supported Verification Types

| Type | Endpoint | Description |

| :--- | :--- | :--- |

| **PAN Card** | `POST /v1/verifications/pan` | Instant Income Tax PAN validation with full holder name and status. |

| **Driving Licence** | `POST /v1/verifications/driving-licence` | Parivahan Sarathi DL check with validity dates and vehicle class permissions. |

Sandbox Environment

All test API keys (`as_test_...`) automatically route through the built-in deterministic sandbox engine. You do not need live provider credentials or third-party contracts to test your entire integration end-to-end.
