Verifies Panamanian Cédula with biometric face-match against the Tribunal Electoral SIB biometric service. Standard tier. 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:"PAN"

required

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

string

default:"pan_cedula_sib"

required

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

string

default:"SAMPLE-PER-12345"

required

Country-specific personal identity number.Example: SAMPLE-PER-12345

file

required

Selfie image file to upload for biometric database validation. Accepted formats: JPEG, PNG, or WebP.Example: @./selfie.jpg

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

Panamanian Cédula (min 5 characters)
personal_number must be 5-20 characters long.

How to call it

curl -X POST "https://verification.didit.me/v3/database-validation/" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "issuing_state=PAN" \
  -F "services=pan_cedula_sib" \
  -F "vendor_data=user-1234" \
  -F "personal_number=SAMPLE-PER-12345" \
  -F "selfie=@./selfie.jpg"

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": "PAN",
  "match_type": "full_match",
  "validations": [
    {
      "outcome_code": "MATCH",
      "service_id": "pan_cedula_sib",
      "service_name": "Panama - Cédula with biometric face-match (SIB)",
      "source_data": {
        "identification_number": "SAMPLE-ID-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": "PAN",
  "match_type": "no_match",
  "validations": [
    {
      "outcome_code": "NO_MATCH",
      "service_id": "pan_cedula_sib",
      "service_name": "Panama - Cédula with biometric face-match (SIB)",
      "source_data": {
        "identification_number": "NO_MATCH"
      },
      "validation": {
        "identification_number": "no_match"
      }
    }
  ]
}

BIOMETRIC_NO_MATCH — The face-match score was below the acceptance threshold - the selfie is not the same person as the registry photo.

{
  "request_id": "req_01H…",
  "status": "Declined",
  "issuing_state": "PAN",
  "match_type": "no_match",
  "validations": [
    {
      "outcome_code": "BIOMETRIC_NO_MATCH",
      "service_id": "pan_cedula_sib",
      "service_name": "Panama - Cédula with biometric face-match (SIB)",
      "source_data": {
        "identification_number": "NO_MATCH"
      },
      "validation": {
        "identification_number": "no_match"
      }
    }
  ]
}

BIOMETRIC_IMAGE_UNUSABLE — The selfie could not be processed (empty, no face, low quality, or the registry could not read it). Prompt the user to retake the selfie.

{
  "request_id": "req_01H…",
  "status": "In Review",
  "issuing_state": "PAN",
  "match_type": "no_match",
  "validations": [
    {
      "outcome_code": "BIOMETRIC_IMAGE_UNUSABLE",
      "service_id": "pan_cedula_sib",
      "service_name": "Panama - Cédula with biometric face-match (SIB)",
      "source_data": {
        "identification_number": "NO_MATCH"
      },
      "validation": {
        "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": "PAN",
  "match_type": "full_match",
  "validations": [
    {
      "outcome_code": "DECEASED",
      "service_id": "pan_cedula_sib",
      "service_name": "Panama - Cédula with biometric face-match (SIB)",
      "source_data": {
        "identification_number": "SAMPLE-ID-12345"
      },
      "validation": {
        "identification_number": "full_match"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Returned data

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