# List document types

GET `/partners/document-types`

Returns the document types this workspace can use, grouped by type group.

Includes COUNT's built-in types for the workspace's country and the custom types the workspace created in COUNT. A built-in group with no type for the workspace's country is left out. `isSystem` is true for COUNT's built-in types and groups; `aiDescription` (the instructions COUNT's classifier follows) appears on the workspace's own types only. Not paginated.
