    Frequently Asked Questions

    DL Verification vs RC Verification?+

    Driving License Verification validates the person’s license details, such as holder name, DOB, validity, address, and vehicle class eligibility. Vehicle RC Verification validates vehicle registration details, ownership, fitness, insurance, and registration status. For complete driver and vehicle onboarding, combine DL Verification with RC Verification.

    Can the API handle high volumes?+

    Yes. The API is designed to handle large-scale volumes reliably without performance degradation.

    How does API authentication work?+

    Every API call is secured with one-time-use tokens generated using asymmetric cryptography. After signing up, you will receive your developer-key and secret-key for both UAT and production environments, which you can use to generate tokens for authenticating your API requests.

    How are errors and failures reported?+

    Every response includes a status code and a human-readable message. Failed requests return specific error codes indicating the reason, so you can handle each case programmatically.

    Yes. A full sandbox environment is available immediately on signup. You can test your integration end-to-end before going live — no commitment required.
