# Verification of accounts or persons now supports uploading both front and back sides

## What’s new

Changes the `legal_entity[verification][document]`, which is located at `individual[verification]` and `verification` in the `Person` object, to a hash.

- The `front` and `back` fields support uploading both sides of documents.
- The `details_code` field has new error types: `document_corrupt`, `document_failed_copy`, `document_failed_greyscale`, `document_failed_other`, `document_failed_test_mode`, `document_fraudulent`, `document_id_country_not_supported`, `document_id_type_not_supported`, `document_invalid`, `document_manipulated`, `document_missing_back`, `document_missing_front`, `document_not_readable`, `document_not_uploaded`, `document_photo_mismatch`, and `document_too_large`.

## Impact

This change restructures the verification document property and expands error reporting.
