During a Lightico session, you can request supporting documents from a customer—such as ID cards, bank statements, or utility bills. When the customer opens a Document Request interaction, they can either upload a file or, if on a mobile device, take a photo of the document directly.
Document Requests can be added as steps in a Workflow or used as stand-alone interactions via the agent console or API. When used in a Workflow, Lightico can also authenticate photo IDs and extract key data automatically.

Photo ID authentication and data extraction
If you have photo ID authentication activated in your account, you can create a specialized Document Request that enables the following features:
Verify the authenticity of your customer’s photo ID.
Verify the customer identity by comparing the photo ID to a selfie.
Extract data from the photo ID.
For example, if you require a US driver's license from your customer, Lightico can verify that the submitted document matches the characteristics of a US driver's license. The customer can then take a selfie and Lightico will compare it to the photo on the driver's license. In addition, you can also extract data such as name, date of birth, and address from the photo ID and bind the data to specific Attributes.
To use this feature in a Lightico session, you'll need to add the Document Request to a Workflow (see Add Document Requests to a Workflow).
