# Proof of Address Capture

The Proof of Address Capture module captures a proof-of-address document, such as a utility bill, bank statement, or telecom agreement, as an image or PDF. It then extracts the address data through [OCR](https://developer.incode.com/docs/glossary#ocr) to validate the user's residential address. This module is optional by default but can be made mandatory through configuration.

## How It Works

The user is prompted to take or upload an image or PDF of a proof-of-address document. The document is then processed using OCR and machine learning to extract:

- Document type
- Full name
- Address (as a raw string and, where available, structured address components)
- Dates on the document

The extracted data is returned in the Session's OCR response. Incode extracts and structures the address data.  You can define pass/fail business logic, such as requiring a document dated within the last three months.
