In all scenarios, follow the steps on your side to prepare your DII for processing, and then check your resulting values by using the [UID2 Hashing Tool](#uid2-hashing-tool). If the results don't match, check each step to find the error.

If you're processing emails, the service does the normalization; however, with phone numbers, the service cannot normalize. For example, it cannot determine a missing country code. Use these resources:

- **Use the Base64-encoded value**: The process includes normalizing, then hashing, then Base64-encoding the bytes of the hash value. When generating UID2s, the input is the Base64-encoded value. Make sure you're using this 44-character string value.

- You might see the following error message: "The hashing value must be 44 characters." In this scenario, there is an error with the hashing function you are using. You must use the hex to Base64 encoding of the SHA-256 hash. For details, see [Email Address Hash Encoding](#email-address-hash-encoding) or [Phone Number Hash Encoding](#phone-number-hash-encoding).
