'Validity' is the singular subject, so it takes the singular verb 'is,' even when followed by a plural noun.
यहाँ मुख्य subject 'validity' singular है, इसलिए plural 'results' के बाद भी verb 'is' आएगा।
Not natural: We need to check the validity this document.
Better: We need to check the validity of this document.
Use 'of' after 'validity' to identify the document or claim whose validity is being checked.
