ID Scanning Supported Documents

Scandit ID Capture provides various IdCaptureScanner types, each designed for specific scanning workflows. These workflows can involve scanning either specific parts of a document or the entire document, including both the front and back sides. This section details the types of documents supported by each scanner type.

Full Document Scanner

This scanner combines data extraction from all supported parts of the document and combines the data from barcodes, human-readable test, and machine-readable text.

  • For card-format documents, data is extracted from the front & the back side of the document.
  • For booklet-format documents (e.g. passports), data is extracted from the main information page.

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:

Single-Side Scanner

This scanner performs data extraction on specific parts of the document, focusing only on one side.

Machine Readable Zone (MRZ)

The single-side scanner's machine-readable zone mode is compatible with all machine-readable travel documents (MRTD) as defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Additionally, it supports certain non-ICAO standards.

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.

Barcode

The single-side scanner's barcode mode extracts data from ID documents with PDF417 barcodes.

Barcodes are captured and parsed so that the data can be accessed via CapturedId. To access the raw barcode data, consult the documentation of BarcodeResult.

Visual Inspection Zone (VIZ)

The single-side scanner's Visual Inspection Zone mode extracts human-readable text from documents. Unlike the full document scanner, this mode focuses solely on the front side of the document, extracting only the visible text while ignoring barcodes and machine-readable zones.

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

ID Validation Supported Documents

ID Validate includes a range of checks to ensure the scanned document is valid. The available checks are dependent on the document type and country and are described in the following section.
