What it is

Regula Document Reader SDK reads identity-document data and checks document quality and authenticity for identity verification services. Regula says its database contains more than 16,500 document types from 254 countries and territories. Depending on component and license, checks can include visual-zone OCR, MRZ and barcode processing, RFID chip reading, image quality assessment, and authenticity checks. The SDK supports passports, ID cards, driver's licenses, visas, mobile driver's licenses, and other identity documents. Mobile driver's license verification can use QR codes and NFC, with retrieval via Bluetooth and NFC. Integration options include mobile SDKs, browser web components, a web service, direct API integration, and connection with Regula Face SDK. The web service can be deployed through Linux package repositories, Windows installers, Docker images, or cloud options such as AWS. A free trial is listed at free, billed 30 days, with 2,000 transactions and no feature limits. Custom licensing uses flexible pricing based on usage and business needs, with pricing on request. Offline licensing is limited to desktop and the Document Reader Web Service on Windows and is unavailable for Docker.
