3 mins read

In order to facilitate efficient and secure identity verification processes, BoldSign accepts specific types of documents. These documents serve as official proof of identity and are recognized across various jurisdictions. Below is a comprehensive list of the documents supported for identity verification within BoldSign:

  1. Passport: A passport is a travel document issued by a country’s government, primarily for international travel purposes. It serves as official proof of identity and nationality.

  2. Driver’s License: A driver’s license is an official permit issued by a government authority that allows individuals to operate motorized vehicles legally. It typically includes the holder’s photograph and other identifying information.

  3. National ID Card (Invite only): A national issued identity cards, which serve as portable document containing digitally embedded information to authenticate an individual’s identity. These cards are typically issued by the government and are widely recognized within the respective country.

Supported Documents by Countries

It’s important to note that the acceptable identity documents may vary depending on the country in which the verification is being conducted. However, regardless of the country, a passport is universally accepted and preferred for identity verification purposes within BoldSign.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that BoldSign currently does not support the extraction of document fields written in certain scripts, including Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Tamil, or Thai. Users should ensure that the documents submitted for verification are in a supported language or script to facilitate smooth processing.
