Enrolment Flow

In order to use our SDK you need an authorization token. Please check our API "Authorisation" in this regard.

The Uqudo SDK provides a builder class to initiate the "Enrollment Flow". The example below assumes that you have already initialised the SDK:

Objective-C
UQBuilderController *builderController = [UQBuilderController defaultBuilder];
builderController.delegate = self;
builderController.appViewController = self;
//
UQEnrollmentBuilder *enrollmentBuilder = [[UQEnrollmentBuilder alloc] init];
enrollmentBuilder.authorizationToken = authorizationToken;
//
UQFacialRecognitionConfig *frConfig = [[UQFacialRecognitionConfig alloc] init];
frConfig.enableFacialRecognition = YES;
enrollmentBuilder.facialRecognitionConfig = frConfig;
//
UQDocumentConfig *documentConfig = [[UQDocumentConfig alloc] initWithDocumentType:PASSPORT];
//
UQReadingConfig *readingConfig = [[UQReadingConfig alloc] init];
readingConfig.enableReading = YES;
[readingConfig forceReadingIfSupported:YES];
documentConfig.reading = readingConfig;
//
[enrollmentBuilder add:documentConfig];
//
[builderController setEnrollment:enrollmentBuilder];
[builderController performEnrollment];
Swift
let uqudoBuilder = UQBuilderController.defaultBuilder()
uqudoBuilder.delegate = self
uqudoBuilder.appViewController = self
//
let enrollmentBuilder = UQEnrollmentBuilder()
enrollmentBuilder.authorizationToken = authorizationToken
//
let frConfig = UQFacialRecognitionConfig()
frConfig.enableFacialRecognition = true
enrollmentBuilder.facialRecognitionConfig = frConfig
//
let passport = UQDocumentConfig(documentType: PASSPORT.rawValue)
//
let readingConfig = UQReadingConfig()
readingConfig.enableReading = true
readingConfig.forceReadingIfSupported(true)
passport.reading = readingConfig
//
enrollmentBuilder.add(passport)
//
uqudoBuilder.setEnrollment(enrollmentBuilder)
uqudoBuilder.performEnrollment()

Uqudo Enrollment Builder Configuration

In order to check if the document type supports the "Lookup Flow" you can use the following method:

Objective-C
UQDocumentConfig *documentConfig = [[UQDocumentConfig alloc] initWithDocumentType:PASSPORT];
[documentConfig isEnrollmentSupported]
Swift
let documentConfig = UQDocumentConfig(documentType: PASSPORT)
document.isEnrollmentSupported()

Please refer to the Scan API for supported Document Types.

passport.scan = <Scan Config Object>
passport.reading = <Reading Config Object>

See the options described below:

PropertyTypeOptionalDefaultDescription

disableExpiryValidation

Boolean

Yes

false

Allows to scan expired documents

enableAgeVerification

Int

Yes

None

Add scan configuration. See Scan Configuration for details

reading

UQReadingConfig

Yes

None

Add reading configuration. See Read Configuration for details

Scan Configuration

Objective-C
UQScanConfig *scanConfig = [[UQScanConfig alloc] init];
scanConfig.disableHelpPage = YES;
scanConfig.faceMinimumMatchLevel = 2;
[scanConfig enableScanReview:NO backSide:NO];
scanConfig.enableUpload = NO;
Swift
let scanConfig = UQScanConfig()
scanConfig.disableHelpPage = true
scanConfig.faceMinimumMatchLevel = 2
scanConfig.enableScanReview(false, false)
scanConfig.enableUpload = false

Boolean,Boolean

Yes

Not

enabled

Enable scan review of the document for the front side, back side or both. After scanning the detected document side is presented to the user for review and confirmation

enableUpload

Boolean

Yes

False

Enable manual upload of the document instead of automatic scanning. The user can choose a single PDF that contains the image of the document. For a two-side document the first picture must be the front side and the second picture the back side.

If enabled, the reading step is automatically disabled

Read Configuration

In order to check if the document type supports the reading step you can use the following method:

Objective-C
UQDocumentConfig *documentConfig = [[UQDocumentConfig alloc] initWithDocumentType:PASSPORT];
[documentConfig isSupportReading]
Swift
let documentConfig = UQDocumentConfig(documentType: PASSPORT)
document.isSupportReading()
Objective-C
UQReadingConfig *readingConfig = [[UQReadingConfig alloc] init];
readingConfig.enableReading = YES;
readingConfig.faceMinimumMatchLevel = 3;
[readingConfig forceReading:NO];
[readingConfig forceReadingIfSupported:YES];
readConfig.forceReadingTimeout = -1;
Swift
let readingConfig = UQReadingConfig()
readingConfig.enableReading = true
readingConfig.faceMinimumMatchLevel = 3
readingConfig.forceReading(false)
readingConfig.forceReadingIfSupported(true)
readingConfig.forceReadingTimeout(-1)

See the options described below:

PropertyTypeOptionalDefaultDescription

Property

Type

Optional

Default

Description

enableReading

Boolean

Yes

false

Enable reading for the document, e.g. NFC reading of the chip

faceMinimumMatchLevel

Integer

Yes

None

Defines the minimum match level that the facial recognition has to meet for the picture in the chip for this specific document

forceReading(value)

Boolean

Yes

false

Force the reading part. Users will not be able to skip the reading part. If the device does not support NFC and forceReading is set to true, the enrollment builder will throw and exception when you trigger SDK

forceReadingIfSupported(value)

Boolean

Yes

false

Force the reading part only if NFC is supported. Users will not be able to skip the reading part if NFC is supported. Otherwise, after the Scan user will be moved to the next step. Note: This option has been deprecated in version 3.0.0 and is the default behaviour now

forceReadingTimeout

Int

Yes

-1 (disabled)

Defines the timeout in seconds. If the user isn't able to perform the NFC scanning of the document before the timeout expires, a message is shown accordingly, and the user is allowed to skip the NFC step. Note: This option is taken into consideration only if any of forceReading and forceReadingIfSupported is set to true

Facial Recognition Configuration

In order to check if the document type supports facial recognition you can use the following method:

Objective-C
UQDocumentConfig *documentConfig = [[UQDocumentConfig alloc] initWithDocumentType:PASSPORT];
[documentConfig isSupportFaceRecognition]
Swift
let documentConfig = UQDocumentConfig(documentType: PASSPORT)
document.isSupportFaceRecognition()

Note: By default the facial recognition is disabled. You will have to enable facial recognition explicitly as per the below example:

Objective-C
UQFacialRecognitionConfig *config = [[UQFacialRecognitionConfig alloc] init];
config.enableFacialRecognition = YES;
config.scanMinimumMatchLevel = 2;
config.readMinimumMatchLevel = 3;
config.maxAttempts = 3;
config.allowClosedEyes = NO;
Swift
let config = UQFacialRecognitionConfig()
config.enableFacialRecognition = true
config.scanMinimumMatchLevel = 2
config.readMinimumMatchLevel = 3
config.maxAttempts = 3
config.allowClosedEyes = false

Facial Recognition configuration options available:

PropertyTypeOptionalDefaultDescription

scanMinimumMatchLevel

Integer

Yes

None

Defines the minimum match level that the facial recognition has to meet for scanned pictures

readMinimumMatchLevel

Integer

Yes

None

Defines the minimum match level that the facial recognition has to meet for pictures from the chip (e.g. NFC)

obfuscationType

ObfuscationType

Yes

None

Enables audit trail image background obfuscation leaving only the face visible. It can be used when there are privacy concerns related to the background of the selfie taken by the user and shared in the SDK result. There are two types of obfuscations:

  • FILLED: the background is entirely replaced

  • FILLED_WHITE: the background is entirely replaced with a wihte background

  • BLURRED: the background is heavily blurred, making sure the objects in the background are not clearly recognizable, but still giving a perception of the environment surrounding the user and therefore still being able to validate the reality of the image. If privacy is a concern, we recommend using this option

maxAttempts

Int

Yes

3

Set the max failed facial recognition attempts before dropping the session. Note: only values between 1 and 3 are taken into consideration.

allowClosedEyes

bool

Yes

false

Allows to have closed eyes during facial recognition.

enableOneToNVerification

bool

Yes

False

Once activated, following a successful facial recognition (confirming liveness and matching the face), the system initiates a search for the user's selfie within your tenant. If the selfie is not found, it is added, and the indexed facial features are stored in the database. The SDK result includes a unique ID in the face object, along with an indication of whether there was a match with a previously onboarded selfie. It's essential to store this unique ID in your system alongside the user's record, facilitating future searches for users with the same ID. Please be aware that this option requires a specific permission, otherwise, it will be disregarded

Background Check Configuration

Note: This feature requires an additional permission and must be explicitly requested

Note: By default the Background Check is disabled. You need to enable Background Check explicitly. See the example below:

Objective-C
[enrollmentBuilder enableBackgroundCheck:YES type:RDC monitoring:NO skipView:YES];
Swift
enrollmentBuilder.enableBackgroundCheck(true, type: RDC, monitoring: false, skipView: true)

Background Check configuration options available:

PropertyTypeOptionalDefaultDescription

isDisableConsent

Boolean

No

false

Disable consent option for the user

backgroundCheckType

Integer

No

RDC

Sets the background check type

RDC

DOW_JONES

enableMonitoring

Boolean

Yes

false

Enable continuous monitoring. See API documentation for details

skipView

Boolean

Yes

false

If enabled, the step will be skipped, and the SDK will trigger the background check without any user interaction.

Handling Exceptions

The Uqudo SDK will throw certain exceptions which need to be handled by the application. The Exceptions are:

  1. IllegalStateException - e.g. enabling the "Lookup Flow" for a document that doesn’t support it or because facial recognition is enabled and the documcent doesn't support it or because of some required configuration missing

  2. UnsupportedDeviceException - e.g. the device is rooted

Handling the Result

The enrollment result will be available to the builder delegate (the class that initiates the SDK has to extends UQBuilderControllerDelegate) if the operation succeeds and you get the result with the following method. See "SDK result" for the details about the JWS string:

Objective-C
- (void)didEnrollmentCompleteWithInfo:(NSString *)info {}
Swift
func didEnrollmentComplete(withInfo info: String) {}

A failure scenario can be handled with the following method:

Objective-C
- (void)didEnrollmentIncompleteWithStatus:(UQSessionStatus *)status {}
Swift
func didEnrollmentIncomplete(with status: UQSessionStatus) {}

See the details about the UQSessionStatus below.

Session Status Handling

The UQSessionStatus is used to identify the status of the enrollment task. The object contains the following properties:

@property (nonatomic, assign) NSInteger statusCode;
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSInteger statusTask;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *message;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *data;

statusCode contains the following error codes:

  • USER_CANCEL = User cancel the operation

  • SESSION_EXPIRED = Session expired or not found

  • UNEXPECTED_ERROR = Something went wrong. In the message the details of the error

  • SESSION_INVALIDATED_CHIP_VALIDATION_FAILED = Session gets invalidated because the CHIP validation of the card fails, and the reading step is forced by configuration

  • SESSION_INVALIDATED_READING_NOT_SUPPORTED = Session gets invalidated because the document doesn’t support reading (e.g. no chip available) and the reading step is forced by configuration

  • SESSION_INVALIDATED_FACE_RECOGNITION_TOO_MANY_ATTEMPTS = Session gets invalidated because of too many failed facial recognition attempts

  • SESSION_INVALIDATED_CAMERA_NOT_AVAILABLE = Session gets invalidated because the camera is not available

  • SESSION_INVALIDATED_CAMERA_PERMISSION_NOT_GRANTED = Session gets invalidated because camera the end user denies camera access

statusTask contains the following codes:

  • SCAN = The scanning task

  • READING = The NFC reading task

  • FACE = The facial recognition task

  • BACKGROUND_CHECK = The background check task (only if skipView() is not enabled)

message contains the details of the status code

data as String that contains the JWS object with the partial data of an incomplete KYC session. Returning the partial data for an incomplete KYC session is disabled by default, please see Enrollment Builder Configuration for details.
