Frequently asked questions

Whatever your acquisition mode (scanner, smartphone, camera…), drop the image of the document to analyze on our download area. JPEG, PNG, PDF, TIFF formats are accepted. You can also manually enter the MRZ (which is the Machine-Readable Zone). In less than 12 seconds, the document is analyzed and the tool tells you if it is a real identity document.

Thanks to our web or mobile SDK solutions, integrate our capture tools directly into your applications as a white label. These tools then transmit, via our APIs, the information for the automated verification of documents and user identities.

Your verification credits are only deducted when the result of the analysis is obtained and you have been able to access the inspection report.

When connected to our services, all exchanges are secure. After analyzing your document, we do not keep any trace of them or the report provided (unless explicitly requested by you, see terms and conditions), ensuring total confidentiality of the pieces analyzed.

You get a clear answer regarding the compliance of the document analyzed allowing you to make an informed decision immediately. You can also download a detailed inspection report detailing all the phases of the analysis, a report of the checks performed and the information extracted from the document.

The heart of IDCHECK.IO has multiple interfaces. Take a look at our APIs and SDKs and easily integrate our expertise into your solutions.

MRZ stands for Machine-Readable Zone. It is an area designed to be automatically read by an optical reader (e.g. a scanner) located at the bottom of identity document (ID cards, passports, residence permits, etc.). It comprises between one and three lines of alphanumeric characters and chevrons (<). Apart from the data already mentioned in the upper part of the document, this zone, with a very precise layout, contains codes enabling a compliance check to be carried out.

The IDCheck.io identity document analysis service is based on a variety of checks. These controls are different depending on the document submitted; they include the verification of compliance of the MRZ or the bar code, compliance between the information in the MRZ or in the bar code and that printed on the document, the overall appearance of the document, the security patterns on the documents and whether the document has expired.

The document submitted has not been recognized. Maybe the submitted image cannot be automatically analyzed. For optimal analysis of the submitted documents, we recommend a resolution that permits easy reading of the information printed on the document. No credit will be deducted until a detailed inspection report is returned to you.

IDCheck.io aims to be able to analyze any identity document from anywhere in the world, like passports, identity cards, visas, residence permits, driving licenses, etc. Today we support documents issued in over 190 countries, and this expertise is expanding every day.
