How to Verify a Product Using 91iD™

In today’s marketplace, customers often want to know more about a product before making a purchase. Whether you are buying a cosmetic, perfume, packaged product, electronic item or another consumer product, having access to reliable product information can make the buying experience more transparent.

91iD™ provides an independent Product Identification & Verification Network that allows users to check the identity and available information of registered products.

The process is simple. If a product carries a 91iD™ number or QR code, customers can use the 91iD™ verification facility to check its registered product information.

What Is 91iD™ Product Verification?

91iD™ product verification is a process through which a customer can check whether a product identification number is associated with a registered product record in the 91iD™ network.

The purpose is straightforward:

Identify the product → Verify the product record → View available information

Depending on the information provided by the registered business, the verification result may display details such as the brand, product name and other available product information.

How to Verify a Product Using 91iD™

Verifying a product is designed to be simple and can generally be completed in a few steps.

Step 1: Find the 91iD™ Number

First, look for the 91iD™ identification number on the product packaging.

It may appear as a:

• 13-digit 91iD™ number
• QR code linked to the product
• Printed product identification reference

For example:

91 1234567 001 4

The exact location of the 91iD™ number can vary depending on how the business has placed it on the product or packaging.

Step 2: Scan the QR Code or Enter the Number

If the product carries a 91iD™ QR code, you can scan it using your smartphone.

Alternatively, you can manually enter the 13-digit 91iD™ number on the relevant 91iD™ verification page.

This provides the system with the product identifier that needs to be checked.

Step 3: Click Verify

After entering or scanning the product identity, proceed with the Verify option.

The 91iD™ system checks the submitted product identification against the relevant registered product information.

If the identification is found, the available product record can be displayed.

Step 4: View Product Information

Once the product identity has been verified, you can review the information available for that product.

Depending on the registered information, this may include:

• Product name
• Brand name
• Registered business
• Product identification number
• Product description
• Other available product information

Always compare the displayed information with the physical product in your possession.

Step 5: Check Before You Buy

Before completing your purchase, make sure the product identity and displayed information correspond with the product you are purchasing.

Pay attention to:

• Product name
• Brand
• Packaging
• Product variant
• Product identification number
• Other relevant information

A matching product identity can provide an additional layer of product information and transparency.

Why Should You Verify a Product?

Product verification can be useful for several reasons.

1. Know the Product Identity

A 91iD™ number gives a registered product a structured identity.

2. Access Product Information

Verification can provide access to product information made available by the registered business.

3. Reduce Confusion

Products with similar names or packaging can sometimes be difficult to distinguish. A unique product identity can provide an additional reference.

4. Make an Informed Choice

Checking product information before purchasing can help customers make more informed decisions.

5. Support Marketplace Transparency

Product identification creates a connection between businesses, products and customers.

What If the Product Cannot Be Verified?

If a 91iD™ number cannot be verified, do not immediately assume that the physical product is fake.

There can be several possible reasons, such as:

• The number may have been entered incorrectly.
• The QR code may not have been scanned correctly.
• The product information may not yet be available.
• The product number may not be registered.
• The product may have a different identification number.
• There may be a temporary technical issue.

If the result does not match the physical product, it is advisable to contact the relevant brand or seller and seek clarification before making a purchase.

What Does a Successful Verification Mean?

A successful verification means that the submitted 91iD™ identification corresponds to a product record available in the 91iD™ system.

It provides an identification reference and access to the information made available by the registered business.

However, a successful 91iD™ verification should not automatically be interpreted as a complete guarantee of the physical authenticity, quality, safety or regulatory compliance of the product.

Customers should also consider packaging, invoices, seller information, warranties, applicable certifications and other relevant checks.

This distinction helps ensure that product verification remains transparent and responsible.

91iD™ Product Verification in Simple Terms

Think of 91iD™ as a digital identity reference for a registered product.

A simple flow is:

Product → 91iD™ Number → Verification → Product Record → Available Information

The physical product remains in the customer’s hands, while the associated product information can be accessed digitally.

Can I Verify a Product Before Buying It?

Yes, where the product carries a 91iD™ identification and the verification facility is available, customers can check the product information before completing a purchase.

This can be particularly useful when shopping online or in physical stores.

For online purchases, customers can also ask the seller or brand for the relevant product identification information and compare it with the product received.

What Information Should Customers Check?

When verifying a product, do not look only at whether a number exists.

Compare the available information with the actual product.

Check the Brand

Does the registered brand correspond with the product packaging?

Check the Product Name

Does the product name match?

Check the Product Variant

If applicable, compare size, model, quantity or variant.

Check the Product Number

Make sure the 91iD™ number corresponds with the number printed on the product or packaging.

Check the Seller

Consider whether the seller is an authorized or reliable source.

These checks together provide a more complete picture.

91iD™ and Product Authentication

Product identification and product authentication are related but different concepts.

Identification asks:

Which product is this?

Authentication asks:

Can the physical product be established as genuine based on available evidence?

91iD™ focuses on product identification and verification of registered product information.

A 91iD™ verification result should therefore be considered as one part of a broader product-checking process, rather than the only test of authenticity.

4. Review the available product information.

5. Compare it with the physical product.

6. Make your purchasing decision based on all relevant information.

A few seconds of checking can give you additional information about the product you are considering.
