PR No.60/2026 SEBI revamps its “Document Number Verification System”
1. SEBI had launched the “Document Number Verification System” in April 2025 and a Press Release in this regard was also issued on April 3, 2025 (PR No. 17/2025).
2. In order to strengthen and increase the credibility of the authentication done, the “Document Number Verification System” has now been modified to include the 'Subject Matter’ of a SEBI letter as one of the mandatory fields required for verification of a physical letter/notice. Further, the system has also been aligned with the Outward Number format generated through the outward module of the E-Office system in SEBI.
3. By accessing the system, the recipient (or any person on his/her behalf) of a SEBI letter (including notices, show cause notices, etc) could verify whether such letter was issued by SEBI, after validating his credentials and entering the mandatory details of the letter, namely, the outward number, name of SEBI Official issuing that letter, date of the letter, subject matter and the name of the recipient. Such verification does not constitute a verification of the contents of that letter.
4. If correct details are entered, the query would be returned with a confirmation that the letter/communication with those details had been issued by SEBI, else the system would indicate that no record is found and the verifier is advised to either enter the correct details or seek confirmation by sending an e-mail to SEBI at dnvs@sebi.gov.in. As the revamped system is operationalized from September Page 1 of 22026, any communication issued prior to the said period may be verified by the recipient by sending an e-mail with necessary details to dnvs@sebi.gov.in.
5. The Document Number Verification System” continues to be available on the Home Page of the SEBI Website [(www.sebi.gov.in)>Home>Authenticate Document Number Issued by SEBI]. The QR code below may also be used to access the web-

A detailed Guidance Note on the usage is also available in the aforesaid web-page.
