Mexico — INE Validation

Validate a Mexican INE (Credencial para Votar) against the electoral registry. Send documentType=INE and a primary identifier in documentNumber. The API auto-detects whether the value is a CIC (9 digits), OCR (13 digits), or clave de elector (18 characters).

Optional fields cover card-model combinations required by the official source:

• citizenIdentifier — required for models E, F, G, H together with CIC
• emissionNumber — required for model C together with OCR and clave de elector
• model — optional hint (C–H) to select the correct field combination

For name and biographical lookup by CURP, use Mexican Citizen (CURP) (v2/mx/curp). To extract fields from INE images, use Mexico — INE OCR (v2/mx/ine/ocr).

Notes

• documentType must be INE.
• documentNumber auto-detects CIC (9 digits), OCR (13 digits), or clave de elector (18 alphanumeric).
• Models E–H typically need citizenIdentifier with CIC; model C needs emissionNumber with OCR and clave de elector.
• Negative electoral verdicts (for example not vigente) still return HTTP 200 with status and message reflecting the registry result.
• Sandbox fixtures: 187639699, 0276031206745, CSFTGV76061131H400. Document 900404019 returns 404.
