Read full description

Instantly scan and verify your essential documents directly in the app. Typing document details from a physical card is slow and easy to get wrong. Point your camera at a document, and the details are captured and ready in seconds. One pass with the camera reads passports, visas, driver’s licenses, ID cards, and payment cards, and extracts all data directly on the screen. Documents from more than 190 countries and territories are recognized. The technology works on the first try. Blur and glare get sorted out while the camera is still pointed at the document, so one capture is usually all it takes.
