Verifies input data against a Government agency database consisting of Malaysian citizens data. 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.

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:"MYS"

required

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

string

default:"mys_national_id"

required

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

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:"111111111111"

required

National identity number for this service.Example: 111111111111

object

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"}

string

default:"+15550101000"

Phone number in international format.Example: +15550101000

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

address is optional for this service. You can send one complete address string and Didit will split it into structured address elements when possible, or you can send the structured fields explicitly.
national_id must contain digits only; remove spaces, hyphens, and punctuation before sending the request.
national_id must be exactly 12 characters long.
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=MYS" \
  -F "services=mys_national_id" \
  -F "vendor_data=user-1234" \
  -F "consent=true" \
  -F "full_name=John Doe" \
  -F "date_of_birth=1990-01-01" \
  -F "national_id=111111111111"

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.

      }
    }
  ]
}

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": "MYS",
  "match_type": "no_match",
  "validations": [
    {

        "identification_number": "NO_MATCH"
      },
      "validation": {

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

Returned data

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

address
address_match_score
city
date_of_birth
identification_number
postal_code
state
street

Pricing & SLAs

Malaysia National ID queries are billed only when Didit receives a conclusive result from the validation source.

Per-call price: $0.35 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.
