Verifies a Mexican INE / IFE voter ID credential against the INE registry (modelo, vigencia, válida-como-identificación, derecho-a-votar). 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:"MEX"

required

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

string

default:"mex_ine_vigencia"

required

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

string

default:"123456789"

cic value required by this database service.Example: 123456789

string

default:"123456789"

identificador_ciudadano value required by this database service.Example: 123456789

string

default:"1234567890123"

ocr value required by this database service.Example: 1234567890123

string

default:"ABCDEF123456"

voter_number value required by this database service.Example: ABCDEF123456

string

default:"01"

emission_number value required by this database service.Example: 01

string

default:"John"

Given name to validate.Example: John

string

default:"Doe"

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

Provide at least one credential identifier: cic, identificador_ciudadano, ocr, or voter_number. If all are absent, Didit returns HTTP 400 with the accepted fields instead of calling the provider. Requests rejected before source lookup are not charged.
For a legacy credential identified by voter_number, include emission_number.
A provider rejection remains a completed HTTP 200 validation and carries the real normalized result. For example, provider code 4 is returned as outcome_code: "INVALID_DOCUMENT_FORMAT", outcome_detail: "4", and source_data.message: "Error de datos". Use these fields rather than treating every rejection as a generic availability error.
Provider code 0 means the submitted credential was not found. It is returned as outcome_code: "DOCUMENT_NOT_FOUND", with outcome_detail: "0" and the original explanation in source_data.message.
Provider codes 1 and 10 mean the submitted credential data did not match the INE record. They are returned as outcome_code: "NO_MATCH", with the provider code in outcome_detail and the original explanation in source_data.message.

How to call it

curl -X POST "https://verification.didit.me/v3/database-validation/" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "issuing_state=MEX" \
  -F "services=mex_ine_vigencia" \
  -F "vendor_data=user-1234" \
  -F "cic=123456789"

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.

{
  "request_id": "req_01H…",
  "status": "Approved",
  "issuing_state": "MEX",
  "match_type": "full_match",
  "validations": [
    {
      "outcome_code": "MATCH",
      "service_id": "mex_ine_vigencia",
      "service_name": "Mexico - INE credential validity verification",

        "federal_district": "sample_value",
        "identification_number": "SAMPLE-ID-12345",
        "message": "sample_value",
        "message_code": "sample_value",
        "ocr": "sample_value",
        "registration_year": "sample_value",
        "validation_code": "SAMPLE-12345",
        "voter_number": "SAMPLE-12345"
      },
      "validation": {
        "identification_number": "full_match"
      }
    }
  ]
}

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

{
  "request_id": "req_01H…",
  "status": "Declined",
  "issuing_state": "MEX",
  "match_type": "no_match",
  "validations": [
    {
      "outcome_code": "NO_MATCH",
      "service_id": "mex_ine_vigencia",
      "service_name": "Mexico - INE credential validity verification",
      "source_data": {
        "identification_number": "NO_MATCH"
      },
      "validation": {
        "identification_number": "no_match"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Returned data

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

emission_number
emission_year
expiration_date
federal_district
identification_number
message
message_code
ocr
registration_year
validation_code
voter_number

Pricing & SLAs

Mexico - INE credential validity verification queries are billed only when Didit receives a conclusive result from the validation source.

Per-call price: $0.20 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.
