POST
Requests the Federal Police’s criminal record certificate for a CPF and reports whether it was issued with nothing on file, comparing the holder’s name and date of birth on the certificate with the submitted ones. When the certificate cannot be issued online the result goes to review. 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.
