Chile — Identity document validation

This endpoint checks document vigency for Chilean RUN or RUT using the printed serial number on the physical ID, in addition to the identifier. Use it when you must confirm that a card is valid (not only that the number exists)—for example high-assurance KYC or compliance steps that go beyond a simple cedula lookup.

For name-only verification against civil registry without serial, use Identity verification in Chile (v2/cl/cedula).

API reference

Endpoint

https://api.verifik.co/v2/cl/validate/documents

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
documentType	string	Yes	RUN (civil card flow) or RUT (tax-oriented flow).

Notes

• The exact status string depends on the upstream registry wording; treat it as a vigency indicator, not a substitute for legal advice.
• Collect serialNumber from the physical document; without it, validation cannot complete against the civil Registro Civil flow.
