About this check

Checks a South African NIIS refugee or asylum seeker file number against the official identity source and returns the identity details on record, with a clear matched / not-matched outcome.

Use it to confirm a refugee ID or asylum seeker permit number is genuine before employment, tenancy, banking or other onboarding decisions.

A match confirms the identity record only — always inspect the person's current original status document for work authorisation.

You must be the person this report is about, or hold their consent / another lawful POPIA basis — confirmed at checkout with a declared purpose. Reports reflect official databases at the moment of generation and are delivered immediately, so the ECT Act cooling-off right doesn’t apply once generation begins; if a report fails to generate you get a re-run or a full refund. See the terms and refund policy.
