The base ruleset will return a PASS when:
The document has passed all verification checks
The document is not expired
The Date of Birth on the document meets the age requirement
The base ruleset will return a REVIEW when:

One or more of the target attributes do not match the document.
The base ruleset will return a FAIL when:

The document is expired
The Date of Birth on the document does not meet the age requirement
The service could not be completed
Additional Rule Sets
You can set a new rule set.
Rule Set Name

DCAMS5_0_Enhanced_RuleSet_NAME_DOB
Base Ruleset + Name and DOB on target must match the document
DCAMS5_0_Enhanced_RuleSet_NAME
Base Ruleset + Name on target must match the document
DCAMS5_0_Enhanced_RuleSet_NAME_ADDR
Base Ruleset + Name and Address on target must match the document
DCAMS5_0_Enhanced_RuleSet_NAME_STATE
Base Ruleset + Name and State on target must match the document

If you do not see a rule set that you would like to use -- please just ask. We can always create a new rule set for your business purpose.
Test Keys
Use the test_key attribute to test the service. When the test_key is provided the system will return a known canned response (regardless of the image submitted) and these transactions are free of charge.
test_key
description
dcams_enhanced_pass
Will return a PASS action result
dcams_enhanced_fail_age
Will return a FAIL action result with a DOCUMENT AGE CHECK FAILED detail on the initial query
dcams_enhanced_fail_not_valid
Will return a FAIL action result with a DOCUMENT NOT VALID detail on the initial query
dcams_enhanced_fail_expired
Will return a FAIL action result with a DCOUMENT IS EXPIRED detail on the initial query
dcams_enhanced_fail_not_verified
Will return a FAIL action result with a DOCUMENT NOT VERIFIED detail
dcams_enhanced_facematched
Should be used with the selfie query to get a face match success response. Use any failure key above to get the fail response.
If you are using one of the matching rule sets and want to force a REVIEW then use the dcams_enhanced_pass case and change the input target attributes to something other than the target returned.
For example, the test case's first name is LOUISA, so to get a FIRST NAME DOES NOT MATCH THE DOCUMENT issue just change the target's first name to something other than LOUISA.
Helpful Information
The total payload may not exceed 10 MB in size.
The minimum image size is 400 pixels on each side of the document
For the best results ensure:
The image is not blurry
There is no glare
The document takes up at least 80% of the image
The edges are not cut off
The document is on a flat surface
