Colombia - PPT

Verifik's Identity Verification API helps you verify the status of a Permiso por Protección Temporal (PPT) issued by Migración Colombia. It's designed to streamline your KYC (Know Your Customer) processes, prevent fraud, and ensure you meet all regulatory requirements effortlessly.

We built this integration for businesses and organizations that need a fast, secure, and automated way to validate migration status for compliance, eligibility checks, or service provision in Colombia, particularly for Venezuelan migrants.

What does this API validate?

Our API connects directly with official Migración Colombia records to validate:

• PPT Status: Verifies whether a PPT is approved and ready for delivery at a Centro Facilitador de Servicios Migratorios.
• Full Name & Document Number: Supports Permiso por Protección Temporal (PPT) documents.
• Identity Match: Confirms that the personal information matches the PPT document number.
• Document Status: Checks document status (VIGENTE - active, expired, etc.).
• Expiration Date: Validates the document expiration date.

By verifying these details, you can be confident that the individual you're dealing with has valid migration documentation, significantly lowering the risk of fraud and ensuring compliance with Colombian regulations.
