# Create a PII token

Creates a single-use token that represents the details of personally identifiable information (PII). You can use this token in place of an [id_number](https://docs.stripe.com/api/tokens/create_pii.md#update_account-individual-id_number) or [id_number_secondary](https://docs.stripe.com/api/tokens/create_pii.md#update_account-individual-id_number_secondary) in Account or Person Update API methods. You can only use a PII token once.

## Returns

Returns the created PII token if it’s successful. Otherwise, this call raises [an error](https://docs.stripe.com/api/tokens/create_pii.md#errors).

## Parameters

- `pii` (object, required)
  The PII this token represents.

  - `pii.id_number` (string, optional)
    The `id_number` for the PII, in string form.
