Pricing
The ID number format checker is free. Always has been, always will be.
The homepage tool validates the format of a South African ID number entirely in your browser. We don't pay per-check fees for it, so we don't charge them. No accounts, no limits, no catch.
Verified reports — pay per report
When you need more than a format check — proof that Home Affairs actually issued a number, whether someone is recorded as deceased or married, who's behind a company, or whether that used car is financed — we generate a verified PDF report from official databases. Those lookups cost us real money per query, so they're priced per report:
