Document Services

Document services. The validation determines the authenticity of the Identity document and the OCR extracts its data. Non-identity forms (invoices and generic PDFs) are processed in a dedicated service.

Available services

• Document Validation: validates the authenticity of the Identity document from its front side and, optionally, its back side and a selfie. It is an asynchronous, reference-only service: it returns a transactionId and the final diagnosis (APPROVED, DECLINED or DOUBTFUL) is obtained by polling.

• Document OCR: extracts the fields from the Identity document.

• Form OCR: extracts the fields from non-identity forms: invoices and generic PDFs.

How the document is named

Document OCR names the document with the pair of fields documentType and countryCode, in format UPPER_SNAKE. countryCode is the issuing country as ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code ISO 3166-1 alpha-3.

documentType	Document OCR
ID_CARD	Yes
PASSPORT	Yes
DRIVING_LICENSE	Yes
FOREIGN_CARD	Yes

A value that the service does not process is returned 400 indicating which ones it supports.

Document Validation does not have those fields: it recognizes the document from the capture itself. It validates Identity document and passports, and the specific set of supported types and countries is established when the service is set up (see Document Validation).
