Redact national ID numbers from text, JSON, and CSV

National identifiers differ in length and format from country to country, which is why this type combines a model pass with a context cue rather than a single regex.

How Redactly detects national ID numbers

• Detected from a national-ID cue such as national ID, NIN, DNI, or 身份证, followed by the value.
• No country-specific format is assumed: the label supplies the meaning and the value is captured as written.
• A value after a passport, licence, or tax cue is reported under that type instead.

Why redact national ID numbers?

National IDs anchor identity in most jurisdictions and are the primary key in identity-fraud databases.

Example request

curl -X POST https://api.bitbanger.in/v1/redact \
  -H "X-API-Key: rdct_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "KYC completed, national ID 1234 5678 9012 verified.", "style": "replace"}'

Every hit in the response carries entity, text, start, and end. The offsets index into the text you sent, so you can apply the redactions to your own copy of the document. The full response schema is in the API reference.
