Colombia — Military service status

Verifik’s Military service status endpoint retrieves a person’s situación militar (military situation) for Colombian citizens identified by Cédula de Ciudadanía (CC). Use it for onboarding, workforce eligibility, or compliance checks where military obligation status is required.

The integration queries official Colombian military sources. Only documentType=CC is supported; other ID types are rejected at validation.

Notes

• Only CC is valid for documentType. If a client or Explorer UI lists other document types, sending anything other than CC still results in validation failure (409).
• Responses are derived from live consultation of official systems; availability and field population may vary by record.
