QR Codes On Statutory Declarations Stops Identity Theft & Misrep

[Suman]

Why do you imprint QR Codes on statutory declarations for visitor/super visa and affidavits etc?

[Rajpal (Admin)]

The imprinted QR code is a security feature that we implemented because unauthorized agents were forging the statutory declarations solemnized by us. We came to know of this through IRCC when we were asked to verify the authenticity of those forged statutory declarations. Since then we started imprinting the security feature QR code along with information which cannot be removed from the page. If a person forges the names on the declaration, the officer may detect it by just scanning the code to check whether that QR code belongs to that person or not. Whenever there is a doubt, IRCC contacts us and asks us for a quick verification to which we respond to on an urgent basis.
