Mobile Document Authenticator Regula 1120M

Image сapturing

Regula 1120M pairs with a smartphone and uses controlled UV/IR/white illumination to capture consistent document images in a mobile workflow. Optimized color rendering delivers high-quality UV images even in ambient light, while enhanced processing helps reduce IR overexposure. IR-based automated checks require a smartphone with an IR camera.

MRZ reading

Regula 1120M, powered by Regula Document Reader SDK, automatically locates the machine-readable zone (MRZ) and extracts its data with built-in validation to minimize manual input. For additional authenticity checks, MRZ print contrast in IR is available when the paired smartphone is equipped with an IR camera.

Visual Zone OCR (VIZ)

Regula 1120M, powered by Regula Document Reader SDK, automatically recognizes information from textual fields: name, surname, expiration date, etc., divides them into separate fields, and verifies date of issue and expiration date.

RFID reading

Regula 1120M reads data from contactless RFID chips—supporting both textual and graphical information—using multiple access modes (direct, BAC, PACE, EAC). It also supports authenticity checks and digital signature verification to ensure the chip is not cloned or tampered with.

DTC reading

Verify Digital Travel Credentials (DTCs) with Regula 1120M using Regula software workflows designed for ICAO standards compliance. Streamline clearance processes and confirm eligibility to enter a destination before boarding—directly from a mobile verification workstation.

Barcode reading

Automatically capture and validate data from multiple barcode formats—1D, PDF417, QR, and Aztec—as part of the Regula 1120M mobile workflow. The extracted information can then be cross-verified with the MRZ, VIZ, and—if present—the RFID chip to maximize data integrity.

Enhanced UV/IR Image Processing

Regula 1120M uses optimized color rendering to capture high-quality UV images in normal ambient lighting, approaching laboratory-grade clarity. When paired with a smartphone equipped with an IR camera, an additional processing algorithm helps prevent IR overexposure, improving the reliability of IR-based checks. Together, these improvements enable automated document authenticity verification in the field at a level comparable to a stationary inspection workstation—using a smartphone as the control unit.

Enhanced UV/IR Image Processing

Cross-data validation

Regula 1120M automatically cross-checks information captured from the MRZ, VIZ, barcodes, and—if present—RFID chip data to confirm consistency across sources. Built-in format and structure checks help validate that fields match expected document rules, while pattern (mask) verification adds another layer of control to reduce errors and flag suspicious inconsistencies.

White-light checks

Capture clear visible-light images for fast visual inspection and reliable data extraction in mobile workflows. Patterns obtained from the white-light image are compared with the document template.

Infrared сhecks

Infrared-based authenticity checks are available when the paired smartphone is equipped with an IR camera. Regula 1120M supports IR visibility verification: portrait, elements of the form, and text data, as well as MRZ print contrast (IR B900 ink) check.

Ultraviolet checks

The workflow includes UV dull paper checks (for the document form, MRZ, and portrait), security UV fiber luminescence inspection, and reading UV-luminescent invisible text. It also supports UV document image pattern checks to help authenticate additional security features during mobile inspections.
