Accessibility statement for Assure (Signicat Capture)

Everyone should have an equal opportunity to use the Signicat Capture app. Our goal is to make our content as accessible as possible for all users. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Signicat Capture

Capture is a web application that businesses can use to perform electronic identity verification (eIDV) of their customers, i.e. to scan and verify identity documents using one or more of the supported eIDV providers. Capture app aims to provide a unique and simple way of integrating these identification services in a web browser.

Known limitations for Capture:

  1. Color contrast: Buttons and links do not have a sufficient color contrast ratio against the background. This fails WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum). However, you can customize these components.
  2. Responsiveness: The content is not responsive up to a higher scale of zoom (i.e. 400%). This fails WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.4 Resize Text and 1.4.10 Reflow.
