Universal ID
Scan capability overview
The Anyline Universal ID mode provides the functionality to scan MRZ documents, driving licenses, identity cards and insurance cards in one scan mode.
Currently, the following alphabets/scripts are supported:
-
Latin (default)
-
Arabic
-
Cyrillic
The scannable data fields that can be scanned with the Anyline Universal ID scanner depend on the type that is scanned.
For each scan result, the Universal ID mode generates a new, generic ID object, containing all relevant information.

MRZ Documents
If a document containing MRZ information is scanned with the Universal ID plugin, the content will be the same as for the MRZ Scan Capability.
MRZ is available on any ICAO standard Machine Readable Travel Documents. The Anyline MRZ module field names are according to the ICAO standard field names.
| The MRZ and Universal ID plugins are not using the same result names for specific fields. |
Some result field names are only available on MRZ documents those are marked as "N/A" in their synonym map cells.

Supported document types and countries
The naming schema for all layouts is built from multiple segments in the following fashion:
[category][type][version][side] e.g. AT_DVL_O_04001_F.
For some countries also subdivisions are supported, those are added to the first segment separated by a dash:
[ISO 3661-1 alpha2]-[category][type][version][side] e.g. US-CA_IDC_O_R301_F.
Document categories:
-
DVL: driving licenses
-
IDC: identification card
-
HIC: health insurance cards
Document types:
-
O: ordinary (default, e.g. national ID for IDC. or a standard driver’s license for DVL)
-
R: resident (resident permit/card)
-
MO: military ordinary
-
MT: military temporal
-
EO: EDU (student cards) ordinary
-
P: pensioner/retiree
-
HO: handicapped/disabled
Document version:
-
Official European Council version where available
-
Others are assigned a unique identifier for distinguishing documents that otherwise share all other layout code attributes
Latin Cards
These are all layouts supported with the Latin script.

Filtering Scannable Documents Types
By default, every document supported by the Universal ID is enabled. This includes MRZ documents, driving licenses, identity cards and health insurance cards.
If this is not desired, then it is possible to configure which specific layouts to enable.
To do this, one needs to add the "allowedLayouts": {} keyword-dictionary pair to the universalIdConfig.
The contents of this dictionary will control the filtering.
MRZ
In order to enable MRZ scanning one has to include the mrz keyword with an empty
list as its value inside the dictionary corresponding to the "allowedLayouts" keyword: "allowedLayouts": {"mrz": []}.
| The MRZ scanning is either enabled or disabled. There is no option to enable only for specific types and therefore the values within the corresponding list are not checked. |
Driving Licenses
In order to enable driver license scanning one has to include the drivingLicense keyword
with a list as its value inside the dictionary corresponding to the "allowedLayouts" keyword.
The filtering is controlled by the values of the list. If it is empty then all supported driving
license types will be allowed for scanning: "allowedLayouts": {"drivingLicense": []}
If the list has elements in them then only layouts that correspond to those will be allowed to
be scanned from the driving licenses. The following configuration for example only enables the
AT_DVL_O_04001_F from the driving license layouts: "allowedLayouts": {"drivingLicense": ["AT_DVL_O_04001_F"]}
Take note that certain values correspond to multiple layouts. The following configuration for
example only enables the AT_DVL_O_04001_F, AT_DVL_O_05001_F and AT_DVL_O_05002_F layouts
from the driving license layouts: "allowedLayouts": {"drivingLicense": ["AT_DVL_O_04001_F", "AT_DVL_O_05002-05001_F"]}
For the accepted filter values, see the whitelist codes within the layout listing tables.
Certain layouts have multiple filtering options. For best user experience, when one desires
to enable a layout to be scanned, all filters belonging to that layout should be enabled.
E.g.: The layout US-PA_DVL_O_R261_F has two filters, US-PA_DVL_O_R261_F and US-PA_DVL_O_R261_F_v2.
|
Identity Cards
In order to enable identity card scanning one has to include the idFront keyword
with a list as its value inside the dictionary corresponding to the "allowedLayouts" keyword.
The filtering is controlled by the values of the list. If it is empty then all supported
identity card types will be allowed for scanning: "allowedLayouts": {"idFront": []}
If the list has elements in them then only layouts that correspond to those will be allowed to be scanned from the identity cards. See Driving Licenses for filtering examples.
Health Cards
In order to enable European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) scanning one has to include the insuranceCard
keyword with a list as its value inside the dictionary corresponding to the "allowedLayouts" keyword.
The filtering is controlled by the values of the list. If it is empty then all supported cards will be
allowed for scanning: "allowedLayouts": {"insuranceCard": []}
If the list has elements in them then only layouts that correspond to those will be allowed to be scanned from the cards. See Driving Licenses for filtering examples.
Multiple Filters
Using filters at the same time for different type of documents is simple.
One only has to insert them into the the dictionary corresponding to the "allowedLayouts" keyword
at the same time. The rules described previously regarding filtering still applies (see Driving Licenses).
The following configuration for example enables MRZ scanning and allows all layouts from the driving
licenses and from the identity cards: "allowedLayouts": {"mrz": [], "drivingLicense": [], "idFront": [] }
If a non valid string is used as a keyword in the "allowedLayouts" dictionary,
or within one of the lists inside it, no error is thrown. The non valid value
is simply not taken into consideration. This is the case for typos and for elements
that should belong to other keywords.
|
The configuration "allowedLayouts": {} does not allow any documents to be scanned.
To scan all supported layouts set the default from the configuration above.
|
Limitations
-
Some special characters are not supported yet: Scanning data with unsupported characters may work, but the result will contain errors for these text parts.
-
Data fields with the postfix :code:`@zho` are Chinese fields that are directly transliterated from the Chinese Commercial Code. At the moment only transliterations to Mainland Chinese is supported, so some Chinese characters might not be transliterated yet.
