BlinkID v6.9.0 Release: Customization of Required Fields, Detection of Face Image Occlusion, and Expanded Document Coverage

We’re continuously refining our flagship product, BlinkID, to better align with your customer verification workflows. In the new BlinkID 6.9.0 release, you’ll find support for over 50 additional identity document versions, an improved face image detector, and greater flexibility in defining mandatory fields.

New Features

Custom mandatory fields

• We’re introducing the option for customers to define their own set of mandatory fields. This feature allows greater flexibility in the scanning process by enabling the extraction of only the necessary information from identity documents. Now you can customize the process and focus on only those fields that are relevant to your use case.
• Custom mandatory fields can be set at the document level or applied universally to all document types. 
• While customizing required fields, customers can also customize real-time feedback for users to keep the specific field fully visible or keep the default instruction “Keep the document fully visible.”

Face detector improvements

We’ve made significant enhancements to our BlinkID face detector model. Now, the updated model detects instances where a finger is covering the face image more precisely, improving the reliability of the face detection feature.
