* **Expiration mode**: Choose how to handle documents with past expiration dates.
* **Reject expired**: If the document's expiration date is earlier than today, mark it as expired and reject.
* **Allow expired**: Do not flag or block documents with a past expiration date.
* **Preferred character format**: Select how extracted names and fields should be normalized.
* **Prefer Latin characters (A–Z)**: Example: "Mohammed"
* **Prefer original script (non‑Latin)**: Example: "محمد"
* **Regional support & subtypes**: Enable documents by region and specify acceptable subtypes when a document type contains many variations.
* Example: For United States driver's licenses, select the exact subtypes you accept (e.g., Arizona Commercial Driver License, Indiana Operator License (REAL ID), New York Enhanced Driver License, etc.).
* Use the "Accepted subtypes" control to quickly include/exclude many variants (e.g., "128 selected").
> Tip: These settings apply per country and document type, so you can be strict in some markets while more permissive in others.
## Per-Country Age Restrictions
Enforce minimum and maximum age requirements on a per-country basis during ID verification. The system extracts the user's date of birth from the submitted document and checks it against the age limits configured for the document's issuing country.
### Configuration
Age restrictions are configured as a per-country table directly from the console:
| Column | Description |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Country** | The issuing country of the document (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3). Only countries enabled in your documents allowed list are shown. |
| **Min Age** | Minimum age required. Users younger than this value trigger the configured action (Decline or Review). |
| **Max Age** | Maximum age allowed. Users older than this value trigger the configured action. Leave empty for no upper limit. |
| **State/Region overrides** | For countries with sub-national age variation (e.g., United States, Mexico), open the settings icon to configure per-state minimum and maximum ages that override the country-level defaults. |
### Age of Majority Defaults
The console includes an **"Apply age of majority"** button that auto-fills each country's minimum age with the known legal age of majority (18 in most countries, with exceptions such as 19 in South Korea, 21 in the UAE, 20 in New Zealand, etc.). You can then adjust individual countries or add state-level overrides as needed.
### State/Region Overrides
Some countries have different legal age thresholds depending on the state or region. When a document is scanned, the OCR system extracts the region (e.g., "Mississippi", "Alabama", "Jalisco") from the document. If a state override is configured for that region, it takes precedence over the country-level age setting.
For example, if the United States has a minimum age of 18, but Mississippi has a state override of 21, a user presenting a Mississippi driver's license will be checked against the minimum age of 21.
### Configurable Actions
When a user's age falls outside the configured range for their document's country (or state), you can choose the action:
* **Decline**: The session is automatically declined.
* **Review**: The session is flagged for manual review.
