ID Issuer: Country and Subdivision Codes

Berbix uses ISO-3166 codes to recognize issuer data processed from Photo IDs.

We are able to capture the two-letter Country Code from any passport via OCR and/or MRZ data, and for some drivers licenses and non-driver IDs, we also capture the Subdivision Code via OCR and/or pdf417.

If you are configuring your Action Maps to make different decisions based on id_issuer, keep in mind that this field combines the Country Code and Subdivision Code when applicable. For example, an individual's U.S. passport may note US as the id_issuer, but the same individual's drivers license may note US-TX.

For your convenience, we've listed commonly used Country and Subdivision Codes below. For a full list, please visit the ISO website.
