Recognize Any ID with Regula

When it comes to document type identification, some documents require to specify the country of issue beforehand, or even the type document that is sent for processing. Nowadays there are a variety of identity documents in almost every country: passports, ID cards, driver’s licenses, residence permits, etc. No one can remember what they all look like, but they should be verified with a certain level of accuracy.

As soon as the document gets in the camera view, Regula technology thoroughly analyzes the document and its key elements, identifies its type and country of issue, what kind of key attributes should be presented on that particular type of document, where to find them and what exactly they should look like, including their appearance in different light sources and at various angles.
