Signicat's Schufa Identity Check integration migrates from SOAP to REST on 2026-11-19.

\n

Data source: schufa

\n

The Data Verification API endpoints and normalised responses remain unchanged. Integrations using only normalised data require no changes.

\n

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.

\n

For more information and a new response example, see Schufa.
