The Document Capture SDK lets users capture an identity document, such as a passport, national ID card, driver’s licence or residence permit, from inside your application. The SDK guides the user through the capture and returns the extracted document details and images to your page.

​
Platform support

Document Capture is available for web applications today. There is no native Android or iOS SDK yet. If you need it in a mobile app, you can wrap the web integration in a WebView.

Web integration

Install the Web SDK, start document capture and handle the result.

Mobile apps (WebView)

A recommended way to offer Document Capture inside an Android, iOS or cross-platform app.

​
Before you integrate

Get your Public Merchant Key from the API / Webhook section of your Youverify dashboard. It is the credential you pass to the SDK, and it is safe to use in client-side code.
Never embed your secret API key in a web page or mobile app. Keep it on your server.

​
Supported countries and documents

You can limit capture to specific countries, provinces and document types with the countries option. To see what is supported, see Country and product coverage.
