# Compliance API route map

Source: https://docs.settlemint.com/docs/developers/api-integration/compliance
Choose the right DALP compliance API page for policy templates, module bindings, identity recovery, and KYC document evidence.



DALP compliance API pages cover four developer jobs: prepare reusable policy templates, manage compliance module registry and token bindings, recover a user's wallet and identity path, and attach encrypted KYC document evidence to a KYC version.

Use this page as the local route map for the compliance API subsection. It points to the page that owns each contract instead of repeating endpoint details.

| Prepare reusable asset policy patterns        | [Compliance templates API](/docs/developers/api-integration/compliance/compliance-templates) | Your integration creates, edits, publishes, lists, or deletes reusable compliance templates before asset creation.                                    |

Compliance templates define reusable policy patterns for asset creation. Compliance modules are the registry and token-level bindings that enforce selected controls on issued tokens. Identity recovery replaces a user's wallet and identity path after lost or compromised access. KYC document uploads attach evidence to a draft KYC version so the review and claim process can continue.

## Read production controls before automation [#read-production-controls-before-automation]

Compliance API calls often sit inside operational workflows. Before automating writes, also review:

* [Request headers](/docs/developers/api-integration/reference/request-headers) for participant, wallet, idempotency, and transaction-speed headers.
* [DAPI error reference](/docs/developers/api-integration/errors/dapi-error-reference) for structured error handling.
* [Operational integration patterns](/docs/developers/api-integration/reference/operational-integration-patterns) for reconciliation, event replay, and status checks.
* [Compliance transfer flow](/docs/architects/flows/compliance-transfer) for the architecture view of transfer checks and claim-gated movement.
