SOAP Unmarshalling Error: unexpected element

I'm having a hard time understanding this error, and also finding an answer online. I am trying to consume an API in Postman from "correios", and I'm getting this error:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soap:Body>
        <soap:Fault>
            <faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode>
            <faultstring>Unmarshalling Error: elemento inesperado (uri:"http://service.objetopostado.cws.correios.com.br/", local:"codigoObjeto"). Os elementos esperados são &lt;{}codigoObjeto> </faultstring>
        </soap:Fault>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Translating:

Unmarshalling Error: unexpected element (uri:"http://service.objetopostado.cws.correios.com.br/", local:"codigoObjeto"). The expected elements are &lt;{}codigoObjeto>

This is the body for the POST request:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <consultarObjetoPostado xmlns="http://service.objetopostado.cws.correios.com.br/">
        <codigoObjeto>AB123456789BR</codigoObjeto>
    </consultarObjetoPostado>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

I don't understand if the error is simply that the <codigoObjeto> is written wrong, and needs to be written as <{}codigoObjeto> or something else, because if I write as <{}codigoObjeto> it shows another error, like this:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soap:Body>
        <soap:Fault>
            <faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode>
            <faultstring>Unmarshalling Error: Unexpected character '{' (code 123) in content after '&lt;' (malformed start element?).
 at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [5,10] </faultstring>
        </soap:Fault>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

So I really don't know how to solve this problem.

The problem seems to be in the namespace:

<consultarObjetoPostado xmlns="http://service.objetopostado.cws.correios.com.br/">
    <!-- Element codigoObjeto belongs to the default namespace "http://service.objetopostado.cws.correios.com.br/" -->
    <codigoObjeto>AB123456789BR</codigoObjeto>
</consultarObjetoPostado>

To remove codigoObjeto from the default namespace on the XML level it would be needed either to provide a namespace prefix:

<ns:consultarObjetoPostado xmlns:ns="http://service.objetopostado.cws.correios.com.br/">
    <codigoObjeto>AB123456789BR</codigoObjeto>
</ns:consultarObjetoPostado>

Or provide an empty namespace on the element level:

<consultarObjetoPostado xmlns="http://service.objetopostado.cws.correios.com.br/">
    <codigoObjeto xmlns="">AB123456789BR</codigoObjeto>
</consultarObjetoPostado>

The client implementation may differ depending on the languages and frameworks used to build and to send the request.
