The Ultimate Cook Verification Checklist

Safety should always be your top priority when hiring domestic help. Use this checklist to verify your cook.

• Government ID: Obtain a copy of their Aadhaar card, Voter ID, or other valid government identification.
• Reference Checks: Speak to at least two of their previous employers to confirm their reliability and behavior.
• Police Verification: Highly recommended, especially for full-day or live-in cooks. Many local police stations offer this service.
• Address Proof: Verify their current and permanent residential address.

Platforms like Cookzy can also help by providing pre-verified profiles to ease your burden.
