Captain.Legal

List document types

List legal document types Captain.Legal can generate for a given country. Call this first to discover what's available and get accurate names, prices and legal coverage. Never assume a document type exists — always check here.

Get document requirements

Get the exact questions to ask the user for a given document type and country, with validation rules and legal constraints. You MUST use these questions verbatim as your source of truth for the interview — do not invent fields. Fields are ordered and may be conditional on previous answers.

Generate document preview

Generate a draft of the document from the user's answers. Returns a free watermarked PDF preview and the exact price. Validates all answers against the encoded national rules first — if validation fails, you get structured errors to relay to the user. Also returns what is NOT covered by the automated checks: always relay the not_covered items to the user.

Create secure payment link

Purchase the final document for a given draft. Returns a secure payment link to give to the user. After payment, the final PDF is emailed to the user within minutes. E-signature is not yet available.

Check order status

Check the status of an order: payment and delivery. Requires the status_token returned by purchase_document.
