**Search by Name, by Document or by Identity:** You can choose whether to search by full name or an alias. \
**Birth Year or Year Range:** If applicable, enter the birth year or a range of years for a more specific match. \
**Match Rate:** Define the minimum percentage match rate that the search result should meet (e.g., 80%). Only results that meet or exceed this threshold will be returned.\
