In the table above, the Associatedsignals Value column includes the minimally suggested signals array value for eachdocument_type. For example, the first row shows na_dl as the document_type and idcheck as the associated signal. This means, at minimum, if you select na_dl as the document_type, then you should include idcheck in the signals array. The private_data request object might look like this:

{  
  "private_data": {  
    "document_type": "na_dl", 
    "signals": [
      "idcheck"  
    ]  
  }  
}
