Features

• Document types: CC, TI, CE, PA, RC, PEP
• GET query parameters
• Returns multiple certificate rows when the person has more than one SENA record

Use cases

• Technical skills and vocational training verification
• Employer due diligence and contractor onboarding
• Education compliance for roles requiring SENA credentials

Notes

• When SENA reports no certificates for the document, the integration may return 404 (upstream message: “No se ha encontrado certificados”).
• Sandbox mode: use documentNumber 10000001–10000010 for fixed sample rows; 90040401 returns 404.
• The route validator currently accepts CC and NIT at the middleware layer; other document types listed in the catalog may depend on upstream SENA portal support.
• SENA portal availability and captcha handling are environment-dependent; outages may return 5xx errors.
• Treat results as personal / education data under Colombian law and your policies.
