# Retrieve a Consumer Report as a Verification PDF

`POST /cra/check_report/verification/pdf/get`

The `/cra/check_report/verification/pdf/get` endpoint retrieves the most recent Consumer Report in PDF format, specifically formatted for Home Lending verification use cases. Before calling this endpoint, ensure that you've created a VOA report through Link or the `/cra/check_report/create` endpoint, and have received a `CHECK_REPORT_READY` or a `USER_CHECK_REPORT_READY` webhook.

The response to `/cra/check_report/verification/pdf/get` is the PDF binary data. The `request_id`  is returned in the `Plaid-Request-ID` header.

## Request body

- CraCheckReportVerificationPdfGetRequest — CraCheckReportVerificationPdfGetRequest defines the request schema for `/cra/check_report/verification/pdf/get`.
  - `client_id` string — Your Plaid API `client_id`. The `client_id` is required and may be provided either in the `PLAID-CLIENT-ID` header or as part of a request body.
  - `secret` string — Your Plaid API `secret`. The `secret` is required and may be provided either in the `PLAID-SECRET` header or as part of a request body.
  - `user_id` string — A unique user identifier, created by `/user/create`. Integrations that began using `/user/create` after December 10, 2025 use this field to identify a user instead of the `user_token`. For more details, see [New User APIs](https://plaid.com/docs/api/users/user-apis).
  - `third_party_user_token` string — The third-party user token associated with the requested User data.
  - `report_requested` 'voa' | 'employment_refresh' | 'income' — Deprecated. Use `reports_requested` instead.
  - `reports_requested` CraCheckReportVerificationPdfReportType[] — Specifies which types of verification reports to include in the returned PDF. Supported combinations are: `[voa]`, `[employment_refresh]`, `[income]`, or `[voa, income]`. Other combinations are not supported.
  - `hide_gse_details` boolean — If `true`, the GSE identifiers (the Report ID and `gse_reference_id`) are omitted from the returned Home Lending Report PDF. Defaults to `false`. These identifiers are always present in the `/cra/check_report/verification/get` JSON response regardless of this field.
  - `user_token` string — The user token associated with the user for which data is being requested. This field is used only by customers with pre-existing integrations that already use the `user_token` field. All other customers should use the `user_id` instead. For more details, see [New User APIs](https://plaid.com/docs/api/users/user-apis).
