IP Geolocation API for Government & Public Sector
Restrict access by territory, enforce data sovereignty, and screen eligibility fraud — from a single lookup.
Public-sector systems need to know where a request originates — to keep access domestic, honour data sovereignty, and screen eligibility. One IP lookup supplies the country, network, and risk context behind that decision. Below is what public-sector teams do with it.
Built for national, state, and local agencies, law enforcement, defense, regulators, and public services:

Can IP geolocation restrict access to domestic users?
Yes, as a first-line control. The country and connection fields let a portal allow domestic networks and flag foreign or datacentre origins for blocking or review. Treat it as one layer alongside authentication and authorization — the threat-detection use-case page shows the pattern.
How does it help with benefits and eligibility fraud?
Comparing the request's country or region against a claimant's stated jurisdiction surfaces out-of-area claims for residency verification. It's a signal that routes cases to review, not an automatic denial — the fraud-prevention page has worked examples.
Does it support data sovereignty requirements?
The country and is_in_eu fields help enforce where traffic originates and which data-handling rules apply. Pair it with your storage and processing controls to meet sovereignty and residency obligations in full.
