Schufa
Schufa provides information about a person's credit history and identity.
REST API migration notice
From 2026-11-19, Signicat will retrieve Schufa Identity Check data through Schufa's REST API instead of its older SOAP API.
The Data Verification API endpoints and normalised responses stay unchanged. If your integration uses only normalised response fields, no action is required.
Action required for raw source data:
If your integration maps directly to any source parameters within the rawJson field, update your mappings before 2026-11-19 to match the new source response schema and attribute names. From 2026-11-19, all source response content will be provided in English.
The following example shows the updated structure within the rawJson field:
{
"status": "identified",
"description": "Indicates a complete match was made with the data source from the input element",
"metadata": {
"sources": [
"schufa"
