### Example: How to validate IDs through the api?

{% hint style="info" %}
**`Remember that you can validate documents through the LP api`. See** [**Document Validation service**](https://docs.v3.localpayment.com/before-payment/document-validation)**.**
{% endhint %}

Below you can find  some examples to validate through our api. You can also test with the examples above. Please, note the structure of each **`ID type`** (lenght, dots, hyphen, lowercase/uppercase). To validate Colombian documents through our API, yo can add or omit the dots, hyphens and lowercase/uppercase indistinctly  for **`CC`** and **`NIT`** type. However, take into account tha&#x74;**`PASS`** and **`CE`** types do not supports dots.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Example: CC" %}
```
        "id" :"19292747",
        "type" :"cc"
    },
    "country" : "COL"
}
```
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Example: NIT" %}
```
{
    "document": {
        "id" :"800.173.557-4",
        "type" :"nIT"
    },
    "country" : "col"
}
```
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Example: PASS" %}
```
{
    "document": {
        "id" :"Om584972",
        "type" :"PASS"
    },
    "country" : "COL"
}
```
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Example: CE" %}
```
{
    "document": {
        "id" :"E226932",
        "type" :"ce"
    },
    "country" : "col"
}
