Document Reader SDK 9.10 Release Notes—November 11, 2026
IMPORTANT changes
- Added a check for damaged and cancelled documents. It detects documents split into parts and other signs of damage, as well as signs of cancellation, such as punched holes, cut corners, VOID stamps, and other punch marks.
- Updated the minimum supported versions:
- iOS version from 15 to 16.
- Android API level from 21 to 23.
Core SDK
OCR
- Added new neural networks for more accurate detection and recognition of Arabic text for Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Sudan, and Palestine.
MRZ
- Updated parsers:
- Oman ID Card.
Barcode
- Added new parsers:
- Ethiopia Temporary Resident Card.
- Updated parsers:
- Canada British Columbia Driving Licence.
- Improved the stability of 1D barcode recognition.
Text data parsing and validation
- Added address parsing for Mexico Voter Card.
- Fixed an issue with incorrect text data comparison for documents where the Security Text check is disabled.
- Fixed an issue with address parsing for Canada Nunavut DL and Slovenia ID Card.
- Fixed an issue with expiry date parsing for Australia Industry Authority.
- Fixed an issue with SPECIMEN status detection.
Authenticity
- Added a check for damaged and cancelled documents. It detects documents split into parts and other signs of damage, as well as signs of cancellation, such as punched holes, cut corners, VOID stamps, and other punch marks. Enable it with
processParam.authParams.propertiesParams.checkDocumentDamage. - Improved document liveness detection to more reliably distinguish genuine documents from fake ones when captured with different mobile cameras.
- Updated the neural network for electronic device replay checks with greater accuracy.
- Updated the neural network to check for the presence of the document holder’s handwritten signature with greater accuracy.
- Updated the neural network for the hologram detection check with greater accuracy for Switzerland ID cards.

Other
- Added support for using the DPI value specified when saving a PDF instead of the default value. If a custom DPI value is specified, it will be used for processing.
- Improved code quality with minor issues fixed.
- Reduced document type identification time by 20%.
- Optimized memory usage.
Core RFID SDK
- Added support for custom challenges for Active Authentication during RFID chip processing. Applications can provide their own challenge value instead of using an automatically generated one. The supplied challenge is sent to the RFID chip for cryptographic signing, enabling the resulting response to be verified using the chip's public key.
- Added the ability to calculate a hash of the data to be signed during Terminal Authentication and send only the hash value to the terminal control centre (TCC), without transmitting any additional data.
Desktop API
- Fixed an issue where empty containers could be returned even when processing had not been performed.
Hardware Support
- Improved image capture under different lighting conditions when using Regula 73x0 and Regula 11x0 devices.
- Added support for connecting to Access-IS devices via USB 2.0. If multiple devices are connected and at least one operates via USB 2.0 or its USB connection speed cannot be determined, 5 MP mode is disabled for all connected devices.
- Fixed an issue where the device serial number was retrieved incorrectly for Desko devices, which prevented connecting to them.
Mobile API
- Added a maximum size limit for UI elements in accessibility mode to prevent excessive scaling when the largest text sizes are selected.
- The default
mDLTimeoutis now 300 seconds, as defined by the ISO/IEC 18013-5 standard. On iOS, NFC reading sessions are limited to 60 seconds by the operating system when working via NFC. ThemDLTimeoutsetting cannot extend this limit. - Fixed an issue with the Online Processing feature in Auto mode where images selected from the gallery were sent directly to the Web API without being processed on the mobile device.
Android
- Updated the minimum supported API level from 21 to 23.
- Updated the order in which UI elements are announced by screen readers in accessibility mode.
- Improved memory efficiency during recognition by minimizing excessive large allocations.
- Fixed an issue in dark mode where custom background mask and camera preview background colors were applied with a delay when the camera was opened.
- Fixed minor issues.
iOS
- Updated the minimum supported version from 15 to 16.
- Changed camera exposure and ISO settings to accommodate hardware changes in iPhone 17 and later models.
- Fixed an issue with 4K processing caused by excessive system memory usage.
- Fixed an issue with incorrect camera preview positioning on iPhone Air.
- Fixed an issue where an incorrect RFID chip animation image was displayed.
- Fixed an issue with the incorrect camera frame aspect ratio in landscape mode.
COM API
- Fixed an unhandled exception that could occur when using a document reader on a computer with connected printers.
Document Reader Application
- mDL session results are now saved to the
mDL_Session.datfile when processing result saving is enabled. - Added support for reprocessing the
mDL_Session.datfile. - Fixed an issue with reprocessing the
RFID_Session.datfile.
Web Components
- Added the ability to disable switching to the Desk View camera on Mac devices. Use
excludeSpecificCameras. - Updated the order in which UI elements are announced by screen readers in accessibility mode.
- Updated dependencies to the latest versions to address security vulnerabilities.
UI Components
- Updated the interface to display the VDS status when available.
- Updated dependencies to the latest versions to address security vulnerabilities.
Web Service API
- Updated dependencies to the latest versions to address security vulnerabilities.
Clients
- Updated to align with the latest changes and fixed minor issues.
Demo Website
- Fixed minor issues.
Database
- Updated multiple document templates to include OVI, MLI, Contact chip, Holograms, Extended MRZ, Extended OCR, Photo embedding type, Patterns checks where appropriate.
- Includes 254 countries and territories, 17064 documents.
