```

#### `400` Bad Request

Error returned with the service envelope (`serviceResultCode` reflects the HTTP status code of the response):

  "serviceResultLog": "Sorry, lookup failed. Please check the details and try again",
  "serviceTime": "151",

#### `502` Bad Gateway

Returned when the service is temporarily unavailable or its response could not be interpreted. The body uses the service envelope with `serviceResultCode: 500`:

```json
{
  "serviceResultCode": 500,
  "serviceResultLog": "Service temporarily unavailable. Please try again later",
  "serviceTime": "3000",
  "serviceTransactionId": "38de2932-0f2h-7gff-14g0-597h04161632"
}
```

#### `504` Gateway Timeout

Timeout error **timeout**, returned with the service envelope:

```json
{
  "serviceResultCode": 504,
  "serviceResultLog": "Request timeout. Please try again",
  "serviceTime": "30000",
  "serviceTransactionId": "48ef3043-1g3i-8hgg-25h1-608i15272743"
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Authentication errors (`401`/`403`) are rejected by the **gateway before reaching the service** and **do not** use the envelope `serviceResultCode`. Platform validation errors use the format `application/problem+json`. See [Error handling](/docs.facephi-en/rest-api/identity-api/identity-api-reference/onboarding/kyc/nigeria.md#manejo-de-errores) for details on the three response formats.
