Frequently asked questions

How much does a check cost?

Pricing depends on your volume and the checks you need. Contact sales by email or WhatsApp for a quote.

What if no record is found?

A "no record found" answer is a valid result from the source and is charged like any other completed check. Failed or timed-out calls are not charged.

How long do you keep results?

A single check result is deleted after 24 hours and batch files after 48 hours. See the privacy page for the full table.

Are you NDPA compliant?

We process identity data under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. Read our NDPA notice for what we collect, why, and your rights.

Can I test without paying?

Yes. Test keys return fake data and never touch your wallet.
