Changed

• General infrastructure maintenance.

New

• NEW: Recommended Actions – Image Assessment. We have introduced new versions of PostDocumentImage and PutDocumentImage. They now include a response body which provides an overall assessment (Passes, Failed) and recommendation (proceed, recapture) based on document image quality. Further, it provides detailed guidance based on sharpness and glare quality. Example response: Full documentation is available on the AssureID Connect Help Page (https://us.assureid.acuant.net/AssureIdService/help)

Improved

• Improved performance of the Issuer Validation Service

New

• New Issuer Validation Service. The new Issuer Validation service uses data extracted from a US Driving License document and compares it to data maintained by US-based motor vehicles jurisdictions. The service: Returns a Passed result if the document matches the issuing state's records, and the Disposition reads, “The extracted document data matches the issuing authority's records.” Returns a Failed result of the document does NOT match and the Disposition reads, “The extracted document data does not match the issuing authority's records.” Return an Attention if the data could not be confirmed due to an outage or timeout and the Disposition reads, “The extracted document data does not match the issuing authority's records.” Returns no DocumentAlert if the jurisdiction is not currently supported by the service. Last, the service contributes to the overall Result This is an add-on service. Contact your GBG Rep for more information.
