Verification isn't just a formality — it's the one step that actually protects your home and family. Here's a practical checklist of what to collect and confirm before a maid, cook or helper starts working for you in Ranchi.
Documents to collect before hiring
- Aadhaar card — confirms identity and permanent address; ask for a copy, not just a number.
- A recent photograph — kept on record so you always know exactly who's coming to your door.
- Local address details — where the helper actually lives, ideally verifiable.
- At least one previous employer reference — a name and a contactable phone number, not just a claim.
Is police verification required?
Formal police verification for informal domestic help isn't uniformly mandated in Jharkhand, but many families still request it for extra peace of mind — particularly for live-in helpers. If you want it done, you can typically approach your local police station with the helper's Aadhaar copy, a photograph, and address proof to start the process; requirements can vary by station, so it's worth confirming locally.
What DailyDomestic verifies before every placement
- Aadhaar identity verification for every helper.
- In-person interview before placement, not just a phone screening.
- Reference check with at least one previous family.
- Address confirmation and a photo on record.
This is exactly the checklist we run before anyone is placed with a DailyDomestic client — so you don't have to chase down verification yourself. Tell us your requirement and we'll place an already-verified helper, usually within 24–48 hours.
