🇨🇱 Chile - Driver License

This service looks up a Chilean driver license by license number (RUN body). Today it queries Municipalidad de Santiago only (tramites.munistgo.cl). Licenses issued by other communes (for example Ñuñoa) return 404 even when the number is valid. That is expected coverage, not an outage.

Endpoint

GET https://api.verifik.co/v2/cl/driver-license

Look up a Santiago-issued Chilean driver license by license number (query documentNumber). Returned fields typically include RUT, license class, restrictions, control dates, municipality, and address, subject to registry availability—useful for fleet, workforce, and KYC checks where driving credentials matter.

Headers

Name	Value
Accept	application/json
Authorization	Bearer <token>

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description	Example
documentNumber	string	Yes	Eight-digit RUN/license body. Dots, commas, spaces, and an optional -K verification digit are stripped (12.345.678-K → 12345678).	12345678

404

{
    "code": "NotFound",
    "message": "Record not found."
}

A 404 means this license is not in the Santiago municipal portal. It is not a service outage. Licenses from other communes are out of scope until a national or commune-specific source is added.

409

{
  "code": "MissingParameter",
  "message": "missing documentNumber\n"
}
