Address Service

For address verification, a valid identity document is required with the same address printed on it as the one claimed by the end-user. The address can also be verified with the help of Utility Bills and Bank Statements.

For Offsite Verification: The address document is provided directly by Shufti Pro’s client that it has already collected from end-user

For Onsite Verification: The address document will be displayed or uploaded by end-user directly for verification.

address_fuzzy_matchRequired: No
Type: string
Accepted Values: 0, 1
Default Value: 0
Provide 1 for enabling a fuzzy match for address verification. Enabling fuzzy matching attempts to find a match which is not 100% accurate. Default value will be 0, which means that only 100% accurate address will be verified.

backside_proof_requiredRequired: No
Type: string
Accepted Values: 0, 1
Default Value: 0
If the value of this parameter is set to 1, Shufti Pro will require the end-user to capture/upload both sides of the document to verify the identity. Enabling this parameter will also activate the front and back sides document match feature, which will verify if captured/uploaded front and back sides belong to the same document.
verification_instructionsRequired: No
Type: Object
This key allows clients to provide additional instruction for the service (document, document_two and address service). Such as if the client wants to allow paper-based, photocopied, laminated, screenshot, cropped or scanned documents for verification.
Example: {"allow_paper_based" : "1"}

show_ocr_formRequired: No
Type: boolean
Accepted Values: 0, 1
default value: 1
The default value for this is 1. If this is set to 0, the user will not be shown the OCR form to validate the extracted information. This can be used within the Document, Document Two, and Address service. This value can also be applied to all services collectively. However, preference will be given to the value set within the service.

Note: Setting the value at 0 may cause data inaccuracy as the user does not have option to validate the extracted information.
