1. Create a Callback Endpoint

2. Get your user's Selfie images

3. Get the user's ID document image

4. Submit the Job to Smile ID

5. Interpret your results

Create a Callback Endpoint

Responses from this product are asynchronous (based on various actions we carry out on the product) and are sent as soon as they are ready, you will need to setup a callback when submitting a job. You can read about creating a Callback URL here.

Get the User's Selfie

To successfully run Document Verification jobs you need to submit the user's selfie.When using the Smile ID UI please see Presenting Screens and Selfie Configuration on how to present the selfie capture screen and when using the Smile ID SDK please see Smartselfie Capture on how to integrate directly with the selfie capture view.

Get the ID Document Image from your User

In addition to the user's selfie, we also need an image of the ID document to complete a document verification job. We will also need the country of issuance of the ID document and the document type. For the full list of document types we support, you can check the Supported Documents section of the docs. Please see Presenting Screens and ID Capture Configuration on how to present the ID Capture capture screen and when using the Smile ID SDK please see Physical ID Capture on how to integrate directly with the ID Capture view.

Submit the Job to Smile ID

Step 1.Set the User Identity Information to be validated

The Document Verification product does not require the id_number of the user. Please do not include the id_number key in the userIdInfo Object.

var userIdInfo = SIDUserIdInfo()
userIdInfo.setCountry(country : <String>); //String Alpha-2 country code
userIdInfo.setIdType(idType : <String>); // String

//Useful if there is anything which is not catered
//for by the strongly typed methods above so you can add
//for example dob as a key and the date as the value
userIdInfo.additionalValue( name : String, value : String );//String for both key and value

Step 2.Set the Partner Params related to the job

var partnerParams = PartnerParams()
partnerParams.setJobId(jobId: <#T##String#>)// unique identifier string per job
partnerParams.setUserId(userId: <#T##String#>)// unique identifier for the user information being processed
partnerParams.setAdditionalValue(key: <#T##String#>, val: <#T##Any#>)//string key and value
                                            // for anything etra which you may need associated with the job

Step 3:Create the config

//Set the environment which can be either
// SIDNetData.Environment.PROD or  SIDNetData.Environment.TEST
//

let sidNetData = SIDNetData(environment: SIDNetData.Environment.PROD)

// the instance of SIDNetworkRequest which is responsible for handling 
//api calls and callbacks to your app
let sidNetworkRequest = SIDNetworkRequest()
sidNetworkRequest.setDelegate(delegate: <SIDNetworkRequestDelegate>)// an instance of SIDNetworkRequestDelegate
//which has various callback methods to your app
sidNetworkRequest.initialize()

let sidConfig = SIDConfig()
sidConfig.setSmileIdNetData(data) //Environment information
sidConfig.setUserIdInfo(userIdInfo: <SIDUserIdInfo>) // set user id info
sidConfig.setSidNetworkRequest( sidNetworkRequest : sidNetworkRequest )
sidConfig.setPartnerParams(partnerParams: <PartnerParams>) //set partner params
sidConfig.setAllowNewEnroll(<true/false>) ==> will allow reuse of user ids
sidConfig.setUseEnrolledImage(<true/false>) ==> will allow to update enrolled selfie
sidConfig.setJobType(6);//int must be set to 6
sidConfig.build(userTag:<String>) Job identifier

Step 4: Submit the Job

sidConfig.getSidNetworkRequest().submit(sidConfig: sidConfig )

Step 5: Interpret your results

SIDResponse object will contain results returned from the api this contains strongly typed method to get the response as individual items or as json object or as a string, for more information on how to interpret results you can read more about result codes and responses in the Document Verification section of the docs.
