API Reference & Data Models

Overview

Once all the prerequisites are in place, the next step is to initiate a request (birth/death/update) by calling the create packet API of MOSIP's packet manager module, followed by the trigger API to process the packet.

Packet processing

The packet processing workflow consists of three key components that work together to process registration requests:

• Application ID (AID) Structure: Each registration request requires a unique Application ID to track and identify the packet throughout its lifecycle.

• Create Packet API (Packet Manager Module): This API endpoint initiates the packet creation process by accepting registration data and storing it in the system.

• Trigger API (Registration Processor Module): After packet creation, this API activates the processing workflow to validate and verify the registration information.

Note: The API request shown below is provided for illustrative purposes only. It should not be used as-is in any implementation. Customize the request according to country-specific ID schema and local requirements. For detailed information on the specific fields to be added for each scenario, please refer here.

Field Descriptions

Request Object:

1. source: Specifies the source of the registration request. This will be the same for any request that comes to MOSIP from CRVS.

2. process: Identifies the registration process being initiated. This value determines which CRVS–MOSIP integration workflow the packet will follow during processing. Refer to the table below for the valid process values to be used for each supported workflow.

Process Value	Purpose / Usage
CRVS_NEW	Used when submitting a new birth registration request for an infant to create a MOSIP ID.
CRVS_DEATH	Used when submitting a death registration request to mark a MOSIP ID as deceased.
CRVS_UPDATE	Used when submitting a demographic update request for an infant’s MOSIP ID (e.g., name, date of birth, gender).
CRVS_DEACTIVATE_ID	Used when submitting a request to deactivate an infant’s MOSIP ID due to an incorrect or invalid birth registration.
CRVS_DECEASED_STATUS_REVERSAL	Used when submitting a request to reverse the deceased status of a MOSIP ID if CRVS determines the individual was incorrectly marked as deceased.

1. id: The unique identifier for the registration request (AID).

Note: As per the current implementation, if the same AID is used twice, the record will be updated with the latest request data.

1. ref_id: Combination of centre ID and machine ID.

   • Ex - "centerid_machineid"

2. schema_version: The version of the ID schema that the country is using in production.

Field Object:

1. fullName: The full name of the individual.

2. dateOfBirth: The date of birth of the individual.

3. gender: Gender of the individual.

4. addressLine1: First line of the address.

5. addressLine2: Second line of the address.

6. city: City of residence.

7. state: State of residence.

8. postalCode: Postal code of the address.

9. email: Email address.

10. phone: Contact phone number.

11. zone: Geographic zone.

12. region: Region of the address.

13. province: Province of residence.

Note: Field names may vary based on country-specific ID schema design.

MetaInfo Object (Center and Operator Information):

1. centerId: Unique identifier for the centre where the registration is processed.

2. machineId: Unique identifier for the machine used for registration.

3. operationsData: Contains fields such as officer ID, officer password, supervisor ID, etc.

4. registration_type: This is the value same as the process field for birth (CRVS_NEW) or death (CRVS_DEATH).

centerId, machineId, officerId must be provided along with any additional relevant operational information for the request to be processed.

Audit Object:

1. uuid: Unique uuid to be sent with any request coming from CRVS.

2. Please add the values for the other fields in the audit object as per the details of the machine and the person who is registering the request from the CRVS.

It is required that at least one attribute in the audit object is populated with valid data before making the request.

schemaJson: JSON schema (in stringified format) used by the country

Trigger API (Registration Processor Module)

In MOSIP, after a packet is created, it is processed for validations and verification of the information in the Registration Processor. Inside the Registration Processor, each packet follows a specific workflow defined by the Camel route.

For the integration with CRVS, the newly created packet is uploaded to the Object Store. To pick up this new packet and trigger the processing, we have developed a new API. This API ensures to trigger the appropriate workflow is triggered for further processing of the registration packet. For this integration, the camel route workflow to be executed is determined by the values provided for the source and process.
