Linking PAN (India) or SSN (international) to a Ascent Passport ensures one person can have only one verified identity — preventing duplicate accounts and fraud.

National ID verification is the foundation of the AscentPassport trust model. By requiring PAN for India-based users and SSN for international users, we ensure that each APID is uniquely tied to a real individual. This makes the system tamper-proof and ensures that employers can trust the identity behind every verified record.
