# Government validation

> Cross biometric data against official sources according to availability by country.

Government validation compares document data with official sources to reinforce confidence in the result.

## Key considerations

* Availability depends on the country and the active provider.
* The fields returned may vary between jurisdictions.
* You must define business rules for partial match and non-match.

<Warning>
  Do not use a single signal for critical decisions. Combine this validation with biometrics and operational review.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  Record the result and the reason for rejection in Datum to improve traceability and auditing.
