FAQ

Employment verification, answered plainly.

Clear answers for employers deciding how to verify overseas work claims in Nigeria.
What does PassPorta verify?

PassPorta verifies employment history claims: whether a named organisation employed the candidate, and what can be established about role, dates and employment type. It is not a criminal background check, credit check, or immigration service.

Who is PassPorta for in Nigeria?

Employers, care homes, healthcare providers, private households, recruitment agencies and authorised institutions that need independent confirmation of overseas or cross-border work experience before hiring or assessment.

How is this different from references or certificates?

References and certificates are usually supplied by the applicant. PassPorta identifies and contacts the former employer through channels the candidate does not control, then records structured outcomes with an audit trail.

Does the candidate need to consent?

Yes. No former employer is contacted until the candidate has confirmed their identity, reviewed the submitted details and given authorisation where required.

Where does PassPorta operate?

PassPorta is launching first in Nigeria and building an employment verification network across Africa. Other markets can register expansion interest on the coverage page.

What outcomes can a verification report show?

Reports describe what was checked and what could be established. Typical outcomes include verified, partially verified, unable to verify, and disputed findings, with methodology explained in the report.
