Acceptable documents (allow list/block list) – Certain documents can be marked as acceptable, despite other configured restrictions. These documents need to be defined by choosing “whitelist” as a policy, which we refer to as the Acceptable Documents list. This features allows to only accept certain type of documents, for example, accept only UK ID’s (whitelisting).   

Certain documents can be blacklisted as well. These documents need to be defined by choosing “blacklist” as a policy. This features allows to only blacklist certain type of documents, for example, blacklist only UK ID’s (blacklisting). 

Administrators can define these allow/block lists documents in this section. To include a specific document, enable the Approved/Not Approved Documents list by toggling the switch to the ‘Yes’ position and proceed to define your document by: 
 
– Country  
– Document Type 
– Sub Type  
– Document Issue  
– Policy  

If user starts to configure this setting with allow listing first, then user will be able to only whitelisting the documents, blacklist will not be enabled.
If the first row is for blacklisting, then allow listing will not be enabled and user will be able to do blacklisting only. 

A document can further be defined as an ICAO (The International Civil Aviation Organization) compliant. 


Minimum allowed age – Provides a simple check to determine the age which will be considered as a threshold. The value of this check can be between 1-100. 

Note: If the underage rule is significantly important for for your company, then the IgnoreScanResult should not be set as true. If the ignoreScanResult is true, then HLR might return as a pass even if the person is not matching with underAge rule, therefore

Identity document – POA cross check – When enabled, the Identity Document – POA cross check attempts to match two addresses – the first extracted from the Identity Document scanned in the initial step of the journey, and any potential address information extracted from the Proof of Address Document.

Note: This check requires high quality extraction of the Address data from the Proof of Address Document, which is not guaranteed. This check is therefore offered on a ‘best effort’ basis.
