FAQ

Common questions

01Where does this information come from?
From Colombia's Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil, the official authority for the identity registry. Croma queries that source in real time.
02What does 'cancelled due to death' mean?
That the cédula was deactivated because the holder passed away. It is the official indicator that a person is no longer alive according to the registry.
03Does this replace an official certificate?
No. It is an informational lookup to validate a cédula's status. For legal procedures you need the certificate issued by the Registraduría.
04Can I query in bulk or via API?
Yes. This tool runs on the Croma API. If you need to validate identities at scale or integrate it into your system, book a call with our team.
