Brazil Phone Verification API

Onboarding users in Brazil means confirming they are who they claim to be. Verifies input data to mobile network operators phone data. A document or a typed-in detail only proves the data exists — not that it is genuine or belongs to the person in front of you. Brazil Phone Verification closes that gap by checking the data against mobile-network-operator data. This guide explains what the check does, the exact technical details, and how to integrate it in minutes.

Key takeaways:

• What it checks — Brazil Phone Verification validates phone-number ownership against mobile-network-operator data.
• What you get back — a normalized match_type plus field-level results you can route straight into approve / review / reject logic.
• Why it matters — Confirming that a phone number belongs to the stated person blocks account-takeover and SIM-based fraud before it starts.
• How to use it — one POST to Didit's database-validation endpoint. $0.40 per conclusive query, results in seconds.

What Brazil Phone Verification validates

Verifies input data to mobile network operators phone data. Didit exposes it through a single endpoint so you can verify the submitted data against mobile-network-operator data and receive a structured, normalized result — not a raw registry dump you have to parse yourself.

A conclusive response returns the matched source_data and a per-field validation block, so your risk engine gets a clear, machine-readable verdict.

Why it matters

Confirming that a phone number belongs to the stated person blocks account-takeover and SIM-based fraud before it starts.

For regulated businesses in Brazil — fintechs, crypto platforms, lenders, marketplaces, and gaming operators — checking against an authoritative source produces a defensible, auditable record that identity was confirmed at the source, not merely captured from a form or a photo.
