    Kindly note the audit event "VerifyPassportAuditDetails" has still not been implemented completely in the API yet. No doubt the API doc mentioned this audit event but it has not been implemented.

    It is because the passport check functionality is not live yet.

    We do not have an API endpoint to return the MRZ code of a passport.

    At this endpoint, the API is only capable of receiving the passport details and processing them. The result, i.e, the MRZ code is not returned in the JSON response at the moment and can only be seen in the UI, as you have mentioned.

    So if you would like to send the passport details using the API and view the result of passport check in UI, you can use the endpoint "SEQ-screen-sync: Perform Synchronous Screening" for this.

    Kindly let me know if this suits your use case.

    Thanks for replying, but I found in the API document, there is actually a mrzLine1 under VerifyPassportAuditDetails, does it mean I should be able to see that audit event after I click the verify button for the passport MRZ check via this api POST /cases/{caseSystemId}/auditEvents?
    I try to get the audit event but still no luck to see any mrz there, is it correct to get VerifyPassportAuditDetails through that api?

    Okay noted, Is there an estimated time when this would go live? or are there any plans to implement this in the near future?

  • @corey Yes, we have a plan to roll this out as a feature. However, we do not have an ETA on when this will be completed.

    Hi, can I check if this Passport Check feature has been updated and implemented in your APIs? Checking back 1 year+ after.

    We are retrieving the lines from the /cases/{{case-system-id}}/auditEvents with AuditEventActionType equals to VERIFY_PASSPORT_DETAILS. It requires RESULT type added in AuditEntityType though.
