Does easyAML support Japanese or other non-English ID documents?
Japanese passports verify cleanly via the Latin-script MRZ; other non-Latin-script documents (eg Chinese or Arabic civil IDs) can be captured for the audit trail but are not DVS-matched.
Partly. Japanese passports verify cleanly because the MRZ (machine-readable zone) is in Latin script and meets ICAO 9303 standard - the platform extracts and validates the MRZ data automatically. Most international passports work the same way regardless of the language on the rest of the document.
Other non-Latin-script documents (Chinese ID cards, Korean resident registration cards, Arabic-script civil IDs, etc.) can be captured and stored as supplementary evidence on the transaction but won't run automatic OCR or field extraction. The audit trail records that the documents were sighted; verification of their authenticity rests on the human reviewer at sign-off.
Practical guidance: where possible, pair a non-Latin document with a Latin-script document (typically a passport) to give the platform something to verify automatically. Where only a non-Latin document is available, document the reasoning in the audit notes and consider a manual VOI as additional comfort. AUSTRAC's reliable-and-independent-source standard doesn't require electronic verification specifically - it requires reasonable grounds, which a properly sighted document supports.
