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.
