ID document subtypes by country

Explore default document subtypes per country, with their display names and technical codes.

The table below lists the default subtypes for each country. For each subtype, it shows:

  • Document type — the document type the subtype belongs to.
  • Subtype display name — the name that applicants see in the WebSDK.
  • Subtype code — the technical code that identifies the subtype. One subtype can have several codes.

Note

Some countries issue several versions of the same document type, for example an old and a new ID card design. Sumsub groups these versions into subtypes.
