AAMVA Barcode Verifier

Defined under the namespace Scandit.Datacapture.Id

AamvaBarcodeVerificationResult

class AamvaBarcodeVerificationResult

Added in version 6.17.0

The result of a verification of AAMVA-compliant personal identification document done by AamvaBarcodeVerifier.

allChecksPassed

get allChecksPassed(): boolean

Added in version 6.17.0

All checks passed and nothing suspicious about the document was detected.

error

get error(): string | null

Added in version 6.17.0

An optional error message describing the reason of the verification failure. This mostly happens when the license key does not permit barcode verification.

AamvaBarcodeVerifier

class AamvaBarcodeVerifier

Added in version 6.17.0

Validates the authenticity of the document by scanning the barcode on the back. This verifier supports documents that follow the Driver License/Identification Card specification by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). It requires either the front & back scanning mode or a single-sided scan of the back of the document. Start with creating a capture context and the verifier:

const barcodeVerifier = await AamvaBarcodeVerifier.create(dataCaptureContext)

Then either initialize the front & back scanning mode:

const settings = new IdCaptureSettings();
settings.supportedDocuments = [IdDocumentType.DLVIZ]
settings.supportedSides = SupportedSides.FrontAndBack;

const idCapture = await IdCapture.forContext(dataCaptureContext, settings)

Or initialize single-sided scanning of the back of the document:

const settings = new IdCaptureSettings();
settings.supportedDocuments = [IdDocumentType.AAMVABarcode];

const idCapture = await IdCapture.forContext(context, settings);

Once the capture is complete, trigger the verification process. This process is asynchronous and the result will be delivered once the verification has been completed:

didCaptureId: async (idCaptureInstance, session) => {
  const capturedId = session.newlyCapturedId;

  const barcodeVerifier = await SDCId.AamvaBarcodeVerifier.create(dataCaptureContext);
  const result = await barcodeVerifier.verify(capturedId);
  if (result.error) {
    // May happen if the license key does not permit barcode verification.
  } else if (result.allChecksPassed) {
    // Nothing suspicious was detected.
  } else {
    // Document may be fraudulent or tampered with - proceed with caution.
  }
}

create(context)

static create(context: DataCaptureContext): Promise<AamvaBarcodeVerifier>

Added in version 6.17.0

Creates a new instance of this verifier.

verify(capturedId)

verify(capturedId: CapturedId): Promise<AamvaBarcodeVerificationResult>

Added in version 6.17.0

Asynchronously conduct the verification of the specified AAMVA-compliant personal identification document.
