How Sevetu verifies home help
Sevetu is built trust-first. Every profile can carry a Verified badge from a government-ID (KYC) identity check, and every hire is protected by private in-app chat and a digital work agreement. Here's exactly how it works — and what it does and doesn't cover.
Why verification matters
Letting someone into your home — to cook, clean, care for a child or an elderly parent — is a decision built entirely on trust. Sevetu's job is to give you a stronger, clearer starting point than an anonymous phone number from a classified ad or an agent's word.
We do that with a government-ID (KYC) identity check, a Verified badge you can see before you talk, and safety tools around every conversation and agreement. We're also clear about the limits, so you always know what the badge does and does not tell you.
What the Verified badge means — and what it doesn't
Trust only works if it's honest. Here is exactly what an identity (KYC) check does and does not tell you.
What it means
Identity confirmed with a government ID
The person completed a KYC check against a government identity document, such as Aadhaar, before earning the Verified badge.
A real, accountable person
You are dealing with an identity-verified individual on an account tied to a verified mobile number — not an anonymous listing.
Visible before you chat
The Verified badge is shown on the profile, so you know the identity check is done before you decide to talk.
What it does not mean
Not a police or criminal-background check
A KYC check confirms who someone is. It does not screen criminal history or police records. Please treat the badge as an identity check only.
Not a reference or employment check
Sevetu does not independently verify past employers, references, qualifications or medical/nursing certifications — always check these yourself.
Not a guarantee of conduct
Verification confirms identity; it cannot guarantee anyone's future behaviour, honesty or work quality.
Your judgement still matters
Interview, take a trial, and check references before you hire — especially for childcare and elder care.
