Argentina

Argentina eKYC verification matches submitted individual data against Argentine sources of truth. See the eKYC API Reference for common response semantics that apply across all sources.

Available sources

Source API source string Description
Argentina - Official Civil Register AR_1 Verifies submitted data against Argentina's Official Civil Register.
Argentina - Resident Register {/* TODO: source string unknown */} Verifies submitted data against Argentina's Resident Register.

{/* TODO: Confirm with PM — the Dashboard drop-down includes both "Argentina - Official Civil Register" and "Argentina - Resident Register," but the existing API documentation only describes source AR_1. Confirm which Dashboard source AR_1 maps to, and provide the source string and request/response schema for the second source. */}

overallLevel low, medium, high Overall risk level. See below for calculation logic.

overallLevel calculation

overallLevel is calculated based on the risk associated with the submitted full name and ID numbers:

  • low when fullNameMatch is exact AND (idNumMatch OR idNum1Match) is exact.
  • high when fullNameMatch is nomatch AND (idNumMatch OR idNum1Match) is nomatch.
  • medium for all other combinations.

Contact your Incode representative to customize the overallLevel calculation for your use case.
