FEATURES

Why BlinkID?

Image capture experience Guide users towards a successful first-time scan. Auto-classification immediately detects document types and zero user interaction is required.
Data-match built-in BlinkID matches the information on the front of the identity document with the information stored in the backside barcode and/or MRZ and checks to ensure a valid format.
Age verification Display a warning message if the person scanning their ID is below the age limit set by the service provider.
Field anonymization Easily configure BlinkID to mask certain parts of the identity document (in results and on cropped images).
Broad platform coverage Easily integrate with BlinkID’s broad platform coverage, flexible integration options, and superior developer experience.
Smart ID image capture While scanning an identity document, BlinkID automatically captures a high-resolution image and crop of the face on the identity document.
