NSDC Trust Employment Verification

NSDC Trust Employment Verification helps organizations check a person's work history, roles, and qualifications during hiring. Employers can request checks using an EPFO-issued UAN, confirmation directly from HR, or ITR and Form 26AS. UAN verification requires the employee's consent first. The employment API also accepts salary slips, appointment letters, and experience letters as document types. Organizations can use the web-based Verification Suite for more than 140 credentials and customize verification workflows. The API Stack provides endpoints for integrating credential issuance and verification into an organization's applications and platforms; API keys are generated after an account is created and the user logs in to the portal. The employment page says credentials are cryptographically secured. NSDC Trust identifies the National Skill Development Corporation as its office organization and is based in New Delhi, India. Its verification solutions support corporations, educational institutions, and financial organizations in hiring, selection, and onboarding. Pricing is available on request.

NSDC Trust offers several routes for checking employment history and a wider Verification Suite for credential workflows. Organizations can also integrate credential issuance and verification through its API Stack, with pricing available on request.

The service suits corporations, educational institutions, and financial organizations that verify employment during hiring, selection, or onboarding. Its API Stack may also suit organizations integrating credential checks into their own platforms.

NSDC Trust Employment Verification checks an applicant’s work history, roles, and qualifications through several employment verification routes. It suits organizations hiring across India that need options for confirming employment records or integrating credential workflows. Its strength is the choice of verification methods; the trade-off is custom pricing and a workflow built around organizational use.

Overview

Employment checks can use an EPFO-issued UAN, confirmation directly from HR, or income tax records through ITR and Form 26AS. For document-based checks, the employment API accepts salary slips, appointment letters, and experience letters. Employers must obtain an employee’s consent before using UAN verification.

That range gives hiring teams more than one path when a candidate’s records or employer access differ. The routes check work history, roles, and qualifications, but the service is aimed at organizations rather than people seeking a standalone personal background check. NSDC Trust describes its coverage as global, while its maker, the National Skill Development Corporation, is based in New Delhi.

Key features

Employment checks and credentials

The web-based Verification Suite covers more than 140 credential types and allows organizations to customize verification flows. Its focus on reducing manual checks and scaling workflows makes it relevant to teams handling varied credentials or larger volumes. Organizations needing only a narrow employment check may find the broader suite unnecessary.

API integration

The API Stack offers endpoints for credential issuance and verification within an organization’s own application or platform. API keys are generated after an account is created and the user logs into the portal. This makes the service a better fit for teams with an integration project than for employers who want a self-contained, ready-to-use workflow.

Related credential tools

Skill Pass is a digital wallet for storing, managing, and sharing verifiable credentials under the user’s control, with mobile apps linked for Android and iOS. The Open Trust Network is described as a public, permissioned network built on W3C standards for verifiable credentials. These extend the product’s credential focus beyond employment checks.

Pricing

NSDC Trust is a paid service with custom pricing, available on request. No fixed plan, seat allowance, usage quota, trial period, or renewal term is provided, so organizations should request a quote that matches their verification volume and integration needs before comparing costs.

Custom pricing may suit organizations whose needs vary by workflow or scale, but it makes budget comparison harder for smaller employers evaluating a single check. There is no stated free plan for employment verification.

Platforms

The service supports web, Android, iOS, and API access. The Verification Suite is web-based, while API access is intended for integration into organizational systems. Skill Pass has Android and iOS apps. This mix serves teams combining browser-based review with integrated workflows and mobile credential management.

Who it's for

Corporations, educational institutions, and financial organizations are the intended users for hiring, selection, and onboarding. It is particularly suited to teams that need multiple ways to verify employment or handle credentials beyond job history. Employers that want transparent, self-serve pricing or a simple single-purpose check should compare other services.

Candidate support is available at [email protected], while business enquiries go to [email protected]. The candidate support form opens an email draft; it does not send form data to a server.

Pros and cons

• Multiple employment routes: UAN, HR confirmation, and ITR with Form 26AS give hiring teams alternatives for confirming work history.
• Consent requirement for UAN checks: Employers must obtain the employee’s consent, which adds a step but makes the required authorization clear.
• Broad credential coverage: The 140-plus credential Verification Suite and customizable flows can serve teams with checks beyond employment.
• Integration options: API endpoints support credential issuance and verification in an organization’s own platform, with API key authentication.
• Custom pricing: A quote-based model leaves organizations without a published price to compare against budgets upfront.
• Organizational focus: The suite and API are designed for institutional workflows, which may be more than an individual or small employer needs.
