# Check passport compliance

> Get a three-tier compliance verdict for one passport, with regulation-cited findings — gap-check, fix, re-check the read-fix-verify loop.

```http
GET /api/v1/passports/{id}/compliance
```

Returns a three-tier compliance verdict for one passport — `compliant`, `compliant_with_warnings`, or `incomplete` — together with regulation-cited findings, so an integration can gap-check a passport, fix the cited gaps, then call again to confirm. That read → fix → verify loop is the point: the response tells an agent exactly what to set next.

Findings come from three tiers. **Static**: required template fields that are missing or unapproved, and required economic-operator parties that aren't set, are `critical`; field values that violate the template's format (pattern / enum / bounds) are `warning`. **Conditional**: per-category rules that are in force today — the battery passport scope under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 Art. 77, SVHC disclosure under REACH Art. 33 / SCIP, the Declaration of Performance under Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 — plus the cross-cutting rule that a product placed on the EU market by a non-EU manufacturer needs an EU-established operator (Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 Art. 4).

**Read `conditionalCoverage`.** It is `evaluated` when conditional rules ran for this category, or `static-only` when no binding conditional rule is in force yet (8 of the 12 categories today). When it is `static-only`, the absence of conditional findings does NOT mean the category has no future requirements — only that none are legally binding yet. A finding tagged `unverifiable_conditional` means a rule applies but the data needed to evaluate it (e.g. battery category, SVHC content) isn't on the passport — verify it manually. Read-only; counts as one v1 passport read against the daily cap.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |

## Examples

```bash
curl -sS \
  https://app.tracepass.eu/api/v1/passports/6650b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1/compliance \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer tp_REDACTED_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
```

```typescript
const res = await fetch(
  `https://app.tracepass.eu/api/v1/passports/${id}/compliance`,
  { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.TRACEPASS_API_KEY}` } },
);
const verdict = await res.json();

if (verdict.verdict === "incomplete") {
  // Each critical finding names the field/party to set and cites the regulation.
  for (const f of verdict.critical) {
    console.log(`${f.target}: ${f.why} (${f.regulation ?? ""} ${f.article ?? ""})`);
  }
}
```

```python
import os, requests
res = requests.get(
    f"https://app.tracepass.eu/api/v1/passports/{passport_id}/compliance",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['TRACEPASS_API_KEY']}"},
)
res.raise_for_status()
verdict = res.json()
for f in verdict["critical"]:
    print(f["target"], "—", f["why"], f.get("regulation", ""), f.get("article", ""))
```
