Checks whether the holder of a CPF is recorded as deceased, and compares the holder’s name and date of birth with the Receita Federal record. 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

string

default:"BRA"

required

ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for this database service.Example: BRA

string

default:"bra_death_check"

required

Array containing this service ID. Pinning the service keeps the request scoped to this exact database.Example: bra_death_check

string

default:"12345678909"

required

Tax or fiscal identification number.Example: 12345678909

string

default:"John"

required

Given name to validate.Example: John

string

default:"Doe"

required

Family name to validate.Example: Doe

string

default:"1990-01-01"

Date of birth in YYYY-MM-DD format.Example: 1990-01-01

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

Brazilian CPF (exactly 11 digits)
tax_number must contain digits only; remove spaces, hyphens, and punctuation before sending the request.
tax_number must be exactly 11 characters long.
tax_number must match \d{3}\.?\d{3}\.?\d{3}-?\d{2}.

How to call it

curl -X POST "https://verification.didit.me/v3/database-validation/" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "issuing_state=BRA" \
  -F "services=bra_death_check" \
  -F "vendor_data=user-1234" \
  -F "tax_number=12345678909" \
  -F "first_name=John" \
  -F "last_name=Doe" \
  -F "date_of_birth=1990-01-01"

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.

MATCH — The registry confirmed the identity and every checked field matched.

  "issuing_state": "BRA",
  "match_type": "full_match",

    }
  ]
}

PARTIAL_MATCH — The identification number was found but one or more personal fields (usually name or date of birth) did not fully match.

    }
  ]
}

NO_MATCH — The registry returned no match for the submitted data.

{
  "request_id": "req_01H…",

        "identification_number": "no_match"

        "full_name": "no_match",
        "identification_number": "no_match"
      }
    }
  ]
}

DECEASED — The identity matched, but the registry flags the person as deceased.

{
  "request_id": "req_01H…",
  "status": "In Review",
  "issuing_state": "BRA",
  "match_type": "full_match",

Returned data

The exact fields surfaced in source_data depend on what the registry returns. The generated example for bra_death_check currently documents this normalized shape:

date_of_birth
death_year
first_name
full_name
identification_number
is_deceased
last_name
tax_id_status
