Why check a caregiver before they start?
- The person being cared for is often vulnerable — an elderly parent or an unwell family member who depends entirely on the caregiver.
- Caregivers can have access to medication, cash, documents and phones, which makes trust and traceability important.
- Qualifications are easy to claim. Where a registration applies, the Professional Licence Check confirms registration details as available on public council records.
What we check for a caregiver
5 checks, each with its own result in your report. The Professional Licence Check is optional — see the questions below.
ID VerificationAadhaar / PAN / Voter ID
Is their ID genuine, and does it match the details they gave you?
Confirms the ID number and details shared match the format and information on record.
Looks at: UIDAI · NSDL · DigiLocker
Criminal VerificationCourt Record Check
Is there a court case in their name?
Searches publicly available court records under the name and details provided. A result is not proof of guilt, and no result found is not a guarantee that none exist.
Looks at: eCourts records
Police VerificationFIR Check
Is there a police complaint (FIR) in their name?
Checks for First Information Reports registered under the name and details provided, where publicly available. Coverage varies by jurisdiction.
Looks at: Public FIR records
Digital Address Check
Does the address they gave match available records?
Confirms the address shared against available digital and public records — not a visit to the location.
Looks at: Digital & public records
Added for caregivers
Professional Licence Check
Are they a registered nurse or caregiver?
Confirms nursing/caregiving registration details as available on public council records.
Looks at: Nursing / caregiver council records
The Digital Address Check is not a home visit. Criminal Verification searches public court records — a result is not proof of guilt, and no result is not a guarantee none exist. Police Verification (FIR Check) coverage varies by city and doesn't include unreported cases. A report is never a guarantee of future behaviour.
Hiring a caregiver? Also do this
1
Decide whether you need a registered professional
A trained attendant and a registered nurse are different roles. If clinical tasks such as injections are involved, ask for the registration; for companionship and daily help, you may not need one.
2
Keep medicines and valuables organised
A locked cabinet, a medicine log and a clear list of what the caregiver is and isn't to handle help everyone.
3
Involve the person being cared for
Their comfort with the caregiver matters as much as the paperwork.
4
Plan a backup
Know who covers when the caregiver is ill or on leave, and verify the backup too.

Caregiver verification: common questions
Verification of a caregiver on InstaBGC is a fixed ₹499 and includes ID Verification, Criminal Verification, Police Verification, Digital Address Check, Professional Licence Check. There are no add-ons and nothing to negotiate. If the person has no professional licence, you can leave that check out and pay ₹399 instead.
It confirms nursing or caregiver registration details as available on public council records. It does not assess skill or experience.
Yes — for caregivers and home nurses only. If the person has no professional licence or council registration, leave the check out when you enter their details and the price drops from ₹499 to ₹399. The four standard checks always run.
Pick the role that matches the job. The checks and prices are the same; a home nurse is a trained nursing professional who typically stays for extended periods of care.
Yes, always. We send the caregiver a consent request on WhatsApp showing exactly which checks will run. Nothing is checked until they approve, and you pay only after they do — if they decline, you aren't charged.
Once the caregiver consents and you've paid, results are usually ready within minutes. If a source is temporarily unavailable, we keep retrying for up to 3 days, you can read a partial report meanwhile, and a check we can't complete is refunded.
No. A report is one input to your decision, not a guarantee. Criminal Verification searches publicly available court records — a result is not proof of guilt, and no result found does not guarantee none exist. Police Verification (FIR Check) coverage varies by jurisdiction and does not include unreported cases.
