In addition to the above mentioned documents, there may be a requirement of some other documents which are specific to certain newspapers. Newspapers like Amar Ujala, Eenadu, Malayala Manorama and Daily Thanthi etc require copy of Photo ID proof for publishing any Property and Business ad. Often, some publications ask for photo ID proof for Loan or Finance related business ads.

The purpose behind providing such documentation is to confirm if the customer is genuine and the ad is authentic. The documentation further verifies the contact details provided and proves that the claims made in the ad matter are genuine and supported by facts.

The supporting documents are required to prevent any kind of fraudulent ad from getting published in the newspaper. This is one important reason why newspaper ads and advertisers are trusted much more than other media advertisers.

Required Supported Documents might vary from Publication to Publication. Hence, any additional document has to be sent to us accordingly.
