action	detail	description
FAIL	SERVICE CANNOT BE COMPLETED	There was some type of processing error. Please resubmit this query again
FAIL	NOT A VALID DOCUMENT	Can not detect the image as a valid identity document
FAIL	DOCUMENT NOT VERIFIED	The image had been detected as an identity document, but authentication checks have failed.

FAIL	DOCUMENT AGE CHECK FAILED	The document's Date of Birth does not meet the minimum age requirement
FAIL	SELFIE MATCH FAILED	The selfie provided did not match the face on the ID document
REVIEW	TRANSACTION REQUIRES FURTHER ATTENTION	One of the matching rules was not met (this only happens when using an additional rule set). See issues below for all values possible.
PASS	ALL CHECKS PASSED	The document is valid and verified, is not expired, the Date of Birth meets the minimum age requirement and additional matching rules all passed. Also, this transaction does not require any further images to be provided.

Issues Responses

When a transaction returns as REVIEW then there will be a list of issues. This list can include any of the below values. For this service the REVIEW action will only return if you are not using the base rule set.

Issue	Description
FIRST NAME DOES NOT MATCH THE DOCUMENT	The target's first name does not match the first name discovered on the document
LAST NAME DOES NOT MATCH THE DOCUMENT	The target's last name does not match the last name discovered on the document
DOB DOES NOT MATCH THE DOCUMENT	The target's DOB does not match the DOB discovered on the document
ADDRESS DOES NOT MATCH THE DOCUMENT	The target's address does not match the address discovered on the document
STATE DOES NOT MATCH THE DOCUMENT	The target's state does not match the state discovered on the document

Base Rule Set

DCAMSPLUS5.0.Enhanced will process with the default base ruleset unless a below rule set value is supplied:

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:

• The base rule set is not used

• One or more of the target attributes do not match the document.

The base ruleset will return a FAIL when:

• The document is not valid

• 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	Description
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
DCAMS5_0_Enhanced_RuleSet_NAME_STATE_DOB	Base Ruleset + Name, State and Date of Birth on target must match the document
DCAMS5_0_Enhanced_RuleSet_NAME_ADDR_DOB	Base Ruleset + Name, Address and Date of Birth 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.
