Common to all the checks is the requirement to pass additional data fields in the "extraData" or "optionalData" element of the web service method. The extraData or optionalData element contains a list of name-value pairs, and if the correct entries are present, then additional background checks will be performed.

Background Driver's Licence Checks (non-DVS)
To perform background driver's license checks, greenID needs to know the driver's license information, which can be passed along with the rest of the information sent in registration web service call. The extra driver's licence information is passed in the list of name-value pairs in the "extraData" or "optionalData" field. The extra fields that can be passed are:
- driversLicenceNumber
- driversLicenceState
- driversLicenceExpiryDate
- driversLicenceRTANumber
The first two fields, namely driversLicenceNumber and driversLicenceState are mandatory; if either or both are missing, then the check will not be performed. The driversLicenceExpiryDate field is optional for all states except Western Australian driver's licenses. The driversLicenceRTANumber field is mandatory for NSW drivers licence checks only.
The driversLicenceNumber field is used directly for the check, it is not modified in any way, so it must be provided exactly as it appears on the licence.
The driversLicenceState fields must be one of:
- NSW
- VIC
- ACT
- QLD
- SA
- WA
Any other values are ignored; if a valid state is not present, then a driver's licence check will not be performed.
The driversLicenceExpiryDate field is also used directly for the check, and is not modified in any way. It is expected that it will be a string of the form DD/MM/YYYY. If a valid date is not found, then none will be used, which may cause the check to fail.
The result of the background driver's licence check will be returned in the standard RichVerificationResult element returned by the web service call (either the regular greenID web services, or the greenID API).
Background DVS Checks
There are four different kinds of DVS checks that can be performed in background mode:
- driver's licence checks (all states);
- Medicare card checks;
- Australian Passport checks; and
- Visa checks.
The sections below provide details on how to initiate each of these checks in background mode.

To initiate a background DVS driver's licence check, the following fields must be passed in the extraData or optionalData element:
- driversLicenceState - the driver's licence state; must be one of: ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC or WA. This field is required.
- driversLicenceNumber - the driver's licence number, exactly as it appears on the licence. This field is required. This field must have the value as shown on the drivers licence.
The person's name details, as provided in the other parameters to the registration web service method, are used, so passing an additional name is not required.
Background DVS Medicare Card Checks
To initiate a background DVS Medicare card check, the following fields must be passed in the extraData or optionalData element:
- medicareCardNumber - the Medicare card number. This field is required. This field must have the value as shown on the Medicare card.
- medicareIndividualReferenceNumber - the person's individual reference number on their Medicare card. This field is required. This field must have the value as shown on the Medicare card.
- medicareCardExpiryDate - the Medicare card expiry date. The expected format for regular green Medicare cards is MM/YYYY, and for blue and yellow Medicare cards, the expected format is DD/MM/YYYY. This field is required. This field must have the value as shown on the Medicare card.

This field is optional; if it is not provided, then the person's name details from the other parameters are used, and will be converted the usual Medicare format of given name followed by the first letter of the middle name(s) followed by the surname. This field must have the value as shown on the Medicare card.
