Embedded design for ID-1 documents

Specifically engineered for seamless integration into self-service kiosks, eGates, and terminals. Its compact form factor ensures minimal space requirements and easy installation.

Simultaneous dual-side reading

Captures images of both the front and back sides of an ID-1 document (such as ID cards, driver’s licenses, or social security cards) in a single pass, eliminating the need for manual flipping.

No-wrong-way insertion

Allows users to insert ID cards in any orientation, minimizing user errors and improving convenience.

Automatic card ejection

Automatically ejects the ID card once reading is completed, speeding up the process and preparing the device for the next user. In case of a power loss, the device is designed to safely release the card automatically, preventing it from getting stuck inside.

Multiple light sources

Utilizes three different types of light sources — white, infrared and ultraviolet — to produce high-quality images, enabling comprehensive automatic authenticity verification and detection of document security features.

Multi-reader setups

A clear indicator informs users which reader is currently active — the ID-1 reader or the full-page document reader Regula 70X8M — supporting setups that combine multiple Regula embedded readers.

Quick-access modular design

The reader features a modular design that allows maintenance tasks and part replacement through the front, without the need to disassemble or extract the entire device from the kiosk.

Compact and rugged construction

Built for durability and reliable performance in unattended, high-traffic environments, ensuring long-term operation even under demanding conditions.

Powerful SDK for Automated Authenticity Verification

The embedded reader comes with Regula’s powerful SDK for automated identity verification and document authenticity checks. From flawless image capture to reading MRZs, NFC, and barcodes, the SDK ensures fast, reliable validation out of the box.

Enhanced document capture

Achieve crystal-clear document images every time with Regula Document Reader SDK. Advanced preprocessing ensures optimal image quality on the first scan.

Automatic ID type and origin detection

The SDK automatically identifies the document type and issuing country without requiring the operator to select them manually, speeding up the verification process and minimizing user input.

Instant MRZ recognition

Swiftly detect and validate machine-readable zones (MRZs) across a variety of identity documents. The software complies with ICAO 9303 and ISO 18013 standards, delivering reliable results in milliseconds.

eIDs support

Verify the authenticity of electronic IDs — including passports, driver’s licenses, and ID cards — by reading RFID chips.

Fast visual zone (VIZ) reading

Quickly extract and cross-check data from the document’s visual inspection zone using advanced OCR and Regula’s comprehensive template library. Printed and embossed data is analyzed and prepared for validation against MRZ, barcodes, and chip data.

Advanced barcode scanning

Automatically detect and read 1D barcodes, PDF417, QR codes, Aztec codes, and others from ID documents. The system contactlessly identifies barcodes and cross-verifies the extracted data with MRZ, VIZ, and chip information for added security.

Extensive ID template database

Access a database with over 15,000 document templates covering 254 countries and territories. Supports 138+ languages and scripts, including Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, and Chinese.

Seamless integration and API support

The software supports integration via a web service, allowing it to run directly in a browser for smooth compatibility with your current infrastructure.

Face match*

Compare portraits from the document’s visual zone and RFID chip with a selfie or stored image to confirm identity and help ensure the individual is not on a watchlist.

*Optional feature.

Additional document authenticity checks*

Use Automatic Authenticity Control to verify document integrity. Instantly cross-check data from VIZ, MRZ, and barcodes, analyze text, and confirm security features like IPI. The system can also detect fraud indicators, such as altered photos.

*Optional feature.
