Improved
VOP improvements
October 17th, 2025
This release includes four changes to outgoing VOP requests.
What changed
Looser message validation. Outgoing request validation criteria have been relaxed to increase completion rates.
Simplified status details. Status detail messages on failed outgoing requests have been streamlined for clarity.
Data formatting standardisation. Accents and special characters are stripped from outgoing requests. Names exceeding 140 characters are blocked before submission.
Matching transparency. retrieved_identifications is now stored on outgoing requests, showing the names fetched during verification. The response includes the distance algorithm used (Levenshtein or Jaro-Winkler) and the matching thresholds applied.
