Voter ID Verification
Verify a Voter ID (EPIC) number and fetch the holder and constituency details in one call.
What is the Voter ID Verification?
The BILAPI Voter ID Verification API validates an Indian Voter ID (EPIC number) in real time and returns the elector details registered against it — name, relation, constituency and state — as a clean JSON response.
It is used as an additional or alternative identity proof during KYC and onboarding, especially for customers who prefer not to share other documents, and for de-duplication and address checks.
Pass the EPIC number and receive verified elector details in milliseconds. Billed only on a successful lookup.
What the Voter ID Verification returns
Every successful call returns a clean, predictable JSON envelope. The data object includes the fields below (exact fields vary by record availability).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
epic_number | The Voter ID (EPIC) number that was checked. |
name | Name of the registered elector. |
relation_name | Father/husband name as registered. |
gender | Gender of the elector. |
constituency | Assembly/parliamentary constituency. |
state | State of registration. |
status | Validity status of the Voter ID. |
