Income verification redaction is the removal of nonpublic pay and banking data from a proof-of-income packet. The GLBA Privacy Rule (15 U.S.C. §6802) limits how a lender shares such data. anonym.plus marks each item locally, so the earnings record stays usable while the protected fields go.
When this applies
A packet bundles pay stubs, W-2s, and bank pages full of raw figures. You strip those before the proof reaches a vendor or a model.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the packet in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned stubs and tax forms.
- The tool flags SSNs, deposit numbers, and figures.
- Keep the gross-income totals you must verify.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The packet (PDF, scan, or DOCX).
- An operator (Mask suits partial number display).
- Optional batch for many stub pages.

Limitations & cautions
OCR on faint stubs can miss a digit. Verify the flags on image pages so no full deposit number or SSN slips through. An employer name plus a figure can still narrow identity.
Frequently asked questions
Can it redact a scanned pay stub?
Yes. Local OCR reads the image first, then flags the SSN, deposit number, and figures so you can mask them before sharing.
Will the verified income total survive?
Yes. Allow-list the gross total you must check, while the bank number and SSN are masked.
Does the packet leave my machine?
No. The desktop app works offline, so the earnings proof stays internal.
