🪪Document Types

Zipwire Collect supports various documents and information from users for all kinds of purposes. The following are the different types of docs and information that can be collected.

Files and Forms

Uploading Files

In many cases, documents are physical, especially when it comes to identity cards which must be designed to be hard to fake. Increasingly, documents are downloaded as PDFs, such as bank statements or phone bills. Zipwire Collect can deal with any of these kinds.

When a respondent uploads a file, it is run through machine vision and then further AI processing to determine what kind of document it is. Zipwire Collect then looks at all the document types being sought in any open collection request and makes a match.

Digital signatures on PDF files are not checked. This is simply because signed PDFs are still rarely used, unfortunately. Please reach out to our support team if you often check digitally signed PDFs.

Manually-entered Information

Sometimes you simply need the user to enter information and there is no paper or file to upload. The most obvious example is the person's name and date-of-birth, and where they were born. This information is critical to uniquely identifying people in the world, but also as a record of who exactly the person is claiming to be. See Form-based Information at the bottom.
