Cause

The National ID Card types used are incorrect. Using the label of the card type, such as Social Security Number, is not supported.

Resolution

When performing a National ID information import we need to add the identifier in the national ID card type field and not the label.

always use the identifier when performing a national id import.png

If we use the import file below, with card-type ssn instead of Social Security number(identifier instead of label), we have no issues during import.
