Claim reference
Every claim TrueVault can disclose, by credential and by document.
Every claim the platform can disclose. The same list is published live at true_claims_supported in the discovery metadata, which is the one to read from code.
Ask for the narrowest claim that answers your question. Where a credential offers both a summary and the detail behind it, the summary is usually enough, and the detail usually contains people who are not your customer.
Every *.credential claim below returns a whole Verifiable Credential. Credential bodies shows what each one looks like, clean and with findings.

PEP & Sanctions Check
sanctionscheck.*
| Claim | What it is |
|---|---|
sanctionscheck.credential | Complete Verifiable Credential (all data) |
sanctionscheck.person_name | Name on check |
sanctionscheck.is_pep | PEP status |
sanctionscheck.is_sanctioned | Sanctions status |
sanctionscheck.result | Result summary |
sanctionscheck.matches | Match details |
sanctionscheck.date_expires | Expiry date |
Validity. One day. This is the shortest of any credential, deliberately.
If you only need to know whether to escalate, ask for is_pep and is_sanctioned and nothing else. matches hands over every match, including names and dates of birth of people who are not your customer.
A clear check. matches is present and empty rather than absent:
{
"sanctionscheck.person_name": "Jane Alice Smith",
"sanctionscheck.is_pep": "No",
"sanctionscheck.is_sanctioned": "No",
"sanctionscheck.result": "No PEP or sanctions matches found",
"sanctionscheck.matches": "[]",
"sanctionscheck.date_expires": "2026-09-22"
}
A check with a match. Note that is_pep is the string "Yes" here but a boolean inside matches - the two are not the same type:
{
"sanctionscheck.person_name": "Jane Alice Smith",
"sanctionscheck.is_pep": "Yes",
"sanctionscheck.is_sanctioned": "No",
"sanctionscheck.result": "1 PEP match found",
"sanctionscheck.matches": "[{\"matched_name\":\"Jane A Smith\",\"similarity\":92,\"is_pep\":true,\"is_sanctioned\":false,\"country\":\"au\",\"birth_date\":\"1974-03-02\",\"classification\":\"Regional government\",\"positions\":[\"Member of the Legislative Assembly\"],\"pep_sources\":[\"wd_peps\"]}]",
"sanctionscheck.date_expires": "2026-09-22"
}
Decoded, each entry in matches carries the fields below. Anything empty is left out rather than sent as null, so treat every field as optional:
| Field | Present | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
matched_name | always | The name as the database holds it, which is rarely spelled as yours |
similarity | always | Name match score, 0 to 100 |
is_pep, is_sanctioned | always | Booleans, unlike the claims above |
country, birth_date, notes | when known | From the matched record, not from your customer |
classification, positions, pep_sources | PEP matches | The office held and where the record came from |
sanction_sources, sanction_programs | sanctions matches | Each programme carries program, authority, summary, start_date and provisions |
A match is a name similarity, not a determination about your customer. The result says what the databases returned; deciding what it means is yours to do.

courtcheck.*
| Claim | What it is |
|---|---|
courtcheck.credential | Complete Verifiable Credential (all data) |
courtcheck.person_name | Name on check |

Validity. Fourteen days.
Student Credential (Currently Enrolled)
student.*

Document claims
Fields read from a single verified document, rather than from a credential. They are named document.{type}.{field}.
| Document | Claims |
|---|---|
document.centrelink | crn |
document.driving_license | licence_number, state, date_expires, birth_date |
document.passport | travel_document_number, date_expires, document_country |
document.student | identifier, date_expires |
document.visa | passport_number, date_expires, document_country |
document.passport_foreign.* is published but not listed: a foreign passport on its own was superseded by the visa check, which covers the passport and the entitlement together. The claims still resolve for people who verified before the change, and there is no way to obtain one now.
Document types not listed here are used to establish identity and disclose no fields of their own: identity cards, birth, marriage, change of name and citizenship certificates, bank accounts, the electoral roll, Medicare, ImmiCards and ASIC/MSIC cards.
