About ID Capture and Validation
Xamarin and Forms Deprecation Notice
Starting with version 8.0 we are no longer upgrading Xamarin and Forms solutions for the Data Capture SDK. Microsoft ended support for these frameworks on the 1st of May 2024, which locks them into discontinued tooling.
You may continue to use the latest releases of SDK version 7.x as per our support policy.
We recommend migrating to .NET MAUI to take advantage of the latest features and improvements in our SDK.
Scandit ID Capture and Validation provides the capability to scan personal identification documents, such as identity cards, passports, or visas, covering everything from checking the age or name on a person’s ID to conducting complex analysis of identity documents to verify if they are real or fake.
Scandit ID Capture software captures data from IDs using a combination of text recognition (optical character recognition/OCR), barcode scanning, and image recognition. This data can be instantly analyzed, on-device, to determine if the ID is authentic.
The scanning and validation results can be used to enable real-time decision making and workflow automation at scale. For example, frontline workers can be given an instant age calculation from the extracted date of birth and/or guidance on whether an ID is real or fake.
ID Capture runs on any smart device with a camera, including smartphones, tablets, and dedicated scanners.
In addition to the ID Capture capabilities of the Scandit SDK, Scandit also offers a cloud-based identity scanning solution called ID Bolt. ID Bolt can be quickly and easily integrated into any existing web-based application. See the documentation for more information.
