Document Enrolment

Document enrolment captures and reads an identity document without requiring a biometric identity proof. It attaches document data to an account when the person's identity will be confirmed in person later.

When to use it​

Situations where a face check is unnecessary or premature but document data is still needed up front:

  • Hotel check-in — capture passport details before arrival.
  • Job applicant pre-screening — collect document data ahead of an in-person interview.
  • Any pre-registration where physical presence will later close the loop.

How it works​

  1. Document capture — the User photographs their identity document.
  2. OCR & validity checks — text is extracted and the document is checked for authenticity and validity.
  3. Decision — on success the document data is attached to the (possibly anonymous) account.

There is no selfie, liveness, or face match in this flow.

Outcomes​

OutcomeMeaning
Document enrolledThe document was trusted and its data was recorded.
RejectedThe document could not be trusted.

Notes​

  • Because there is no biometric proof, document enrolment establishes what the document says, not that the presenter is its holder. Pair it with an in-person or later biometric step when identity assurance is required.
  • To capture document data and prove the presenter is the holder, use Identity Verification.
