Features

• Official CE lookup against Migración Colombia’s consultation flow
• Validity and lifecycle fields when returned by the source

Use cases

• Onboarding for foreign residents holding a Colombian CE
• Banking, employment, and compliance where immigration status must be confirmed

Notes

• expeditionDate must match DD/MM/YYYY; wrong formats typically return 409.
• GET and POST are both routed to the same handler; use POST if you prefer a JSON body.
• Upstream portal or parsing changes may surface 404 / 500 when no row is found or the source is unavailable.
