Document Check
Check your clients documents to extracts details and confirm their authenticity.
The provided document must have an
issuingCountry
and associated image attachments that adhere to our image specifications. The front side of the document will always be required. For certain document types, you should also provide the back side.
If the back side is not provided, our engine will conduct the check based on the front side alone. It is highly recommended to provide both sides of documents for more robust checks to take place.
Image attachments must comply with the following:
- The images must be of good quality, with a minimum of 150 DPI.
- The images must be either in JPG, PNG, or PDF format.
- The images must be provided without blur or glare.
- You must not take the image at an angle.
- Each side of the document must be between 34 KB and 4 MB.
Attribute | Type | Description |
clientId | string | The ID of the client associated with this check. (Required) |
type | string | This must be set to document_check . (Required) |
documentId | string | The ID of the document. (Required) |
options | object | The advanced optional configuration associated with the check. Also, see the options object below. (Optional) |
Attribute | Type | Description |
analysisCoverage | array[string] | The types of analysis to conduct as part of a document check. Valid values include:
When this attribute is not provided, we will conduct all analysis types. |
minimumPermittedAge | number | The minimum acceptable age before your client ID is flagged. When this attribute is not provided, we will default the minimum age to 18. |
clientDataValidation | boolean | Adds an additional check that compares the client record data (first and last names) with data extracted from an ID document. When this attribute is not provided, it will default to false. |

The
result
object is only returned when the status of the check is complete
. It has two components - outcome
and breakdown
.The outcome attribute represents the overall check result. Returned values include:
- 1.
clear
: Indicates every analysis type conducted returned a successful result, and hence the document is authentic. - 2.
attention
: Indicates at least one of the analysis results requires attention. - 3.
not_processed
: Indicates that ComplyCube was not able to process the images. Reasons include:- The image is of low quality.
- The image is blurred or glared.
- The image is at an angle.
- The ID type and country provided do not correspond with the actual document provided uploaded.
The breakdown comprises the following objects:
