Input is verified against a source comprising multiple datasets from consumer, business, telephone and utility records. Didit exposes this service through POST /v3/database-validation/ so you can verify the submitted data against the authoritative source and receive normalized match results.

​
Body parameters

​
issuing_state
string
default:"BEL"
required
ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for this database service.Example: BEL
​
services
string
default:"bel_utility"
required
Array containing this service ID. Pinning the service keeps the request scoped to this exact database.Example: bel_utility
​
first_name
string
default:"John"
required
Given name to validate.Example: John
​
last_name
string
default:"Doe"
required
Family name to validate.Example: Doe
​
date_of_birth
string
default:"1990-01-01"
required
Date of birth in YYYY-MM-DD format.Example: 1990-01-01
​
address
object
required
Structured residential address object. Use street_1, street_2, city, region, postal_code, and country. A complete legacy address string is still accepted but not recommended.Example: {"street_1":"123 Sample Street","street_2":"Unit 4","city":"Sample City","region":"Sample State","postal_code":"10001","country":"US"}
​
phone
string
default:"+15550101000"
required
Phone number in international format.Example: +15550101000
​
vendor_data
string
default:"user-1234"
Your stable user reference for this person, such as your internal user ID. Didit uses it to link standalone checks to the same end user and reduce duplicate-detection noise.Example: user-1234

​
Input rules & validation notes

  • For address services, send structured address fields instead of a single address string when possible.
  • address.street_1 is the street address, including street number and street type.
  • address.street_2 is apartment, unit, building, floor, or extra address line. Send it only when you have it.
  • address.city is city, suburb, district, locality, or neighborhood.
  • address.region is state, province, region, or town.
  • address.postal_code is postcode or postal code.
  • Address-based database services require at least street address and postal code; requests rejected before source lookup are not charged.

How to call it

curl -X POST "https://verification.didit.me/v3/database-validation/" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "issuing_state=BEL" \
  -F "services=bel_utility" \
  -F "vendor_data=user-1234" \
  -F "first_name=John" \
  -F "last_name=Doe" \
  -F "date_of_birth=1990-01-01" \
  -F 'address={"street_1":"123 Sample Street","street_2":"Unit 4","city":"Sample City","region":"Sample State","postal_code":"10001","country":"US"}' \
  -F "phone=+15550101000"
Every successful call returns HTTP 200. The outcome_code field tells you what actually happened — distinguishing, for example, a real biometric mismatch (BIOMETRIC_NO_MATCH) from a selfie that could not be read (BIOMETRIC_IMAGE_UNUSABLE). The status shown is the default feature status; your configured Partial Match / No Match actions can override it.

​
Returned data

The exact fields surfaced in source_data depend on what the registry returns. The generated example for bel_utility currently documents this normalized shape:
  • address
  • date_of_birth
  • first_name
  • last_name

​
Pricing & SLAs

Belgium Utility queries are billed only when Didit receives a conclusive result from the validation source.
  • Per-call price: $0.04 USD.
  • Billing: per successful query. You are not charged when the registry is unreachable, when required fields are missing, or when the request is rejected before reaching the source.
  • Latency: typical p95 < 2 s.
  • Availability: 99.9% per quarter on Didit’s side; downstream source availability varies by country and dataset.
