Each document type has been issued in multiple versions throughout the years, and document design is usually significantly changed across versions. Some document changes that we have observed are: change in orientation (horizontal vs vertical), addition or replacement of the script of the document (Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic), security feature changes, and other similar updates. Key document features on supported documents are noted below (for example, document orientation and script), as well as supported document sides (front, back, bio-data page, and so on). The table below lists the supported documents for each country, along with the corresponding region. Here is the full list {% hint style="info" %} Other than the documents listed here, 1Kosmos Recognizers also scan the **Machine Readable Zone (MRZ)** on standard (ISO/IEC 7501 compliant) **Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTD)**. This includes **passports, visas,** and other identification documents. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.1kosmos.com/identity-verification/supported-documents.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
