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:

Captured MRZ data is parsed and can be accessed through the CapturedId
interface. For details on retrieving raw MRZ data, please refer to the MrzResult
documentation.

Extracted text data is accessible through the CapturedId
interface. For more information on retrieving raw text data, please refer to the VizResult
documentation.
