Features

• Three search modes: document, name, or serial
• Name mode may return matches; document/serial return a single object
• GET and POST share the same handler

Use cases

• Confirm a marriage registry hit for KYC / compliance
• Resolve marriage serials linked to a known document
• Name-based screening when only biographic data is available

Notes

• Supply exactly one search mode (do not mix serial with document/name fields).
• Sandbox: document numbers 10000001–10000010; name mode follows the same sandbox profiles as by-name.
• Temporary source availability issues may surface as 409 (Endpoint_out_of_service).
• Related: Citizen by document, Citizen by name, Civil registry by serial, Registraduría certificate.
