Notes

  • Address information is optional if an AddressLookupRef is supplied in the query options. The AddressLookupRef is retrieved from the W2 Data Address Lookup 024 service as an addressId.
  • If an AddressLookupRef is not supplied then a minimum of House Name/Number and Postcode are required. Though it is advised to supply as much address information as possible as this is more likely to return a match if no prematched addressId is supplied.

Example request

{
	"Bundle": "YOURBUNDLE",
	"Data": {
		"DayOfBirth": 22,
		"Forename": "Isabelle",
		"MonthOfBirth": 10,
		"Surname": "Davidson",
		"YearOfBirth": 1997
	},
	"Options":{
		"AddressLookupRef":"12345"
	}
}

Response

Example response 1

		"AllowMultipleRecordsAsSeparateDataSources": false,
		"MatchingCriteria": "NameAndAddressAndDateOfBirth",

		}
	],
	"interpretResult": "Pass",
	"Message": "The call was successful",
	"transactionResult": "SuccessIncompleteResults"
}

Example response 2

			"AllowMultipleRecordsAsSeparateDataSources": false,
			"MatchingCriteria": "NameAndAddress",
			"NumberOfMatches": 1,

Response breakdown

The following shows the basic schema for the W2DataEkycUk007BResult result.

Below is some more information about some of the elements of the response that require explanation:

DataSources = A collection showing every source of data that was used to formulate the result. Each source is represented by a MatchingSource element.

AllowMultipleRecordsAsSeparateDataSources = Indicates that two different record matches from the same data source may count as independent sources when formulating the 2 + 2 result. For example, two Insight results may count as two sources, rather than one, as they would do under normal service circumstances.

MatchingCriteria = Precisely what data has been matched by the data source. E.g. NameAndAddressAndDateOfBirth

NumberOfMatches = The number of matches found by this data source

Source = An integer representing the source of the data match. E.g. 2 = CCJ (County Court Judgement)

SourceIdSource Matched
1Electoral Roll
2County Court Judgements (CCJs)
3N/A
4Credit Lenders (Insight)
5BT_OSIS
6Mortality Data
7Credit Lenders (Call Credit)

InterpretResult = The overall verification result, based on what matches were found in the data source against the query data submitted. The possibilities are Pass, Fail or Refer

Message = Gives some more details / context on the verification result

TransactionResult = A diagnostic result showing whether or not any technical errors were experienced during the check. This should always be "Success" unless a technical error has occured, in which case the verification check will be aborted.
