Anonymized Documents
Some countries have specific requirements for the anonymization of documents. By default, ID Capture will omit sensitive fields from countries with such restrictions. To control this behavior, you can set the IdAnonymizationMode parameter.
Depending on the anonymization mode, certain sensitive fields are not extracted from documents (their values are returned as nil) or they are blacked out on the returned document images.
Documents and fields that are subject to anonymization are listed below:
