Passports are the key to travel, especially internationally. Without a valid identification record, you won't get far and within the Locomote Corporate Travel Platform, this is no different.

In Locomote, you have the ability to upload all of your travel documents (passports, visas) and manage them within the user profile via the Documents tab. A Passport cannot exist without being associated to a user, as this it is profile data.

Passports can be setup & managed at a profile level by the Traveller, the Arranger or the Company Administrator.

Using the API, we can retrieve a list of passports setup for a specific user via the GET function. We can also create (POST) without requiring a specific passport id/code. Using the "find all" function (GET) we can identify specific passport id(s) and either update (PATCH) or remove (DELETE). However if we mistakenly delete the record, we are unable to get it back as it will permanently remove the record from the database.

No request fields required for GET

Example Response

Status Code: 204 - No content

No body returned for response

Response Fields

No response fields required as no content is returned after deletion.

Remember

You don't need any response fields entered (eg. type, code, name) to delete a record. The unique resource id (or {code}) is already identified in the URL, so the API knows which specific record to delete.

Restore a Passport

Unfortunately you cannot restore a document (passport, visa etc.) Unlike a resource or user where the record is archived, once it has been deleted, it is removed from the database.

Need to Know

*= Denotes mandatory field.
