Person Basic info lookup

Retrieves fundamental information about natural persons from national and commercial registries (we refer to these as data sources).

How it works​

The Person Basic info lookup step allows you to check, enrich and verify information about your end-user against national and commercial data sources.

The Person Basic info lookup step returns the following information about a person:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Date of birth
  • Place of birth
  • Citizenship
  • Nationality
Background step

The Person Basic info lookup step runs in the background, therefore your end-users will not see it in the user journey.

After the user journey is completed, you can view the data retrieved from the data sources in the Journeys of Signicat Mint.

Other Signicat products involved​

The Person Basic info lookup step integrates the Basic endpoint of the Signicat Data Verification API into your flows.

How this works

The fields you configure inside the Mint step map to corresponding parameters in the Data Verification API endpoint. When the workflow runs, Mint sends requests to the API in the background, without you having to write any code.

Signicat Mint integrates with most endpoints of the Signicat Data Verification API; each endpoint corresponds to a step. Learn more about the Data Verification endpoints in the API overview.

By default, all steps return metadata with information such as timestamp, journey ID and status.

Data sources​

The Signicat Data Verification service relies on data sources, the complete portfolio of national and commercial registries you activated in your Signicat account. To manage your data sources in the Signicat Dashboard, go to Products > Data Verification.

Data sources in production

Mint displays all the data sources in the step configuration, by default. Before configuring a data source in your step in Mint, make sure you have purchased the source. You can do this either through the Signicat Marketplace (self-service) or by creating a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard.

Additional configuration

Note that data sources may require additional configuration in the Signicat Dashboard > Data Verification page.

If you require assistance or need more information, you can contact us by creating a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard.
