# setPassportDataErrors

> Informs a user that some of the Telegram Passport elements they provided contains errors

**Category:** Telegram Bot API — Methods (A-Z)  
**URL:** https://docs.botlify.cloud/setpassportdataerrors  
**Platform:** Botlify Cloud (https://botlify.cloud)  

---

Informs a user that some of the Telegram Passport elements they provided contains errors. The user will not be able to re-submit their Passport to you until the errors are fixed (the contents of the field for which you returned the error must change). Returns *True* on success.

Use this if the data submitted by the user doesn't satisfy the standards your service requires for any reason. For example, if a birthday date seems invalid, a submitted document is blurry, a scan shows evidence of tampering, etc. Supply some details in the error message to make sure the user knows how to correct the issues.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| user_id | Integer | Yes | User identifier |
| errors | Array of PassportElementError | Yes | A JSON-serialized Array describing the errors |

## Example
