Not every document this service accepts carries the identifier it queries by. When the identifier is not extracted from the document the check is recorded as not applicable - no database is queried and you are not charged - which for some countries is a large share of real users. To cover them, also collect the identifier from a Questionnaire answer, a Document AI extraction field, or a value you send when you create the session, and map it on the Database Validation step.

Body parameters

string

default:"IND"

required

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

string

default:"ind_pan_permanent_account_number"

required

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

Explicit end-user consent for this service.Example: true

string

default:"John Doe"

required

Full legal name to validate.Example: John Doe

string

default:"1990-01-01"

required

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

string

default:"ABCDE1234F"

required

Permanent Account Number.Example: ABCDE1234F

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

pan must use uppercase letters.
pan must match [A-Z]{5}\d{4}[A-Z].

How to call it

curl -X POST "https://verification.didit.me/v3/database-validation/" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "issuing_state=IND" \
  -F "services=ind_pan_permanent_account_number" \
  -F "vendor_data=user-1234" \
  -F "consent=true" \
  -F "full_name=John Doe" \
  -F "date_of_birth=1990-01-01" \
  -F "pan=ABCDE1234F"

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": "IND",
  "match_type": "full_match",

        "full_name": "full_match",
        "identification_number": "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.

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

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

{
  "request_id": "req_01H…",
  "status": "Declined",
  "issuing_state": "IND",
  "match_type": "no_match",
  "validations": [
    {

    }

}

Returned data

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

date_of_birth
identification_number
