    • InPanRecognizer
    • InAadhaarRecognizer

    • EsNifRecognizer
    • InVoterRecognizer

    To re-enable them, either change the default YAML to have them as enabled: true, or via code, add them to the recognizer registry manually.

    • Yaml based: see more here: YAML based configuration.
    • Code based: 
      from presidio_analyzer import AnalyzerEngine
from presidio_analyzer.predefined_recognizers import AuAbnRecognizer

# Initialize an analyzer engine with the recognizer registry
analyzer = AnalyzerEngine()

# Create an instance of the AuAbnRecognizer
au_abn_recognizer = AuAbnRecognizer()

# Add the recognizer to the registry
analyzer.registry.add_recognizer(au_abn_recognizer)

Unreleased

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where the CreditCardRecognizer regex could incorrectly identify 13-digit Unix timestamps as credit card numbers. Validated that 13 digit numbers that start with 1 and have no separators (e.g. 1748503543012) are not flagged as credit cards.
  • Enhance NlpEngineProvider with validation methods for NLP engines, configuration, and conf file path.
  • Added Korean Resident Registration Number (RRN) recognizer (KrRrnRecognizer).
  • Added Thai National ID Number (TNIN) recognizer (ThTninRecognizer).
