# Using Document Image

The Document Verification product lets you verify the authenticity of Identity documents submitted by your users and confirm that the document actually belongs to the user by comparing the user's selfie to the photo on the document. To run a document verification job, we require:

1. A selfie of the user
2. An image of the document
3. The document type and the country of issuance (this must be one of our supported document type and country, all supported documents and countries is listed in the next section)

{% hint style="info" %}
We currently only support documents with the photo of the document holder

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://legacy-docs.usesmileid.com/supported-id-types/for-individuals-kyc/using-document-image.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
