Default redactions

Some countries and jurisdictions require that specific fields in identity documents be redacted before any data leaves the device. BlinkID redacts these fields by default, with no configuration.

This page lists every document that has default redactions, grouped by country, with the redacted fields nested under each document.

  • A field is redacted in the visual inspection zone (VIZ) result.
  • MRZ means the whole machine-readable zone is redacted.
  • A field in the QR code is redacted only on the listed versions of the document.

To keep a field that is redacted by default, or to redact more fields, see Use custom redaction.

note

Redaction rules are delivered with document updates, so a document can gain or lose default redactions without a new SDK version. This page reflects the latest document data.
