 ### `require_id`
 
-If `true`, requests must contain a resolvable persisted document ID. If Router cannot extract an
-ID, it returns `PERSISTED_DOCUMENT_ID_REQUIRED`. Type is `boolean` and default is `false`.
+Controls whether requests must contain a resolvable persisted document ID. If a request lacks an
+ID and `require_id` is enforced, Router returns `PERSISTED_DOCUMENT_ID_REQUIRED`.
+
+Accepts a static boolean (`true` or `false`, default is `false`) or an **expression** that is
+evaluated per-request. The expression can reference:
+
+| Variable           | Description                          |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
+| `.request.headers` | HTTP headers of the incoming request |
+| `.request.method`  | HTTP method (`GET`, `POST`, etc.)    |
+| `.request.url`     | Full request URL                     |
+| `env("VAR")`       | Environment variable at request time |
+
+When the expression returns `true`, the document ID requirement is enforced, but when `false` it is
+skipped for that request.
+
+```yaml
+persisted_documents:
+  require_id:
+    expression: |
+      is_null(env("BYPASS_SECRET"))
+      || .request.headers."x-bypass-require-id" != env("BYPASS_SECRET")
+```
+
+You can also bypass the requirement on a per-request basis at runtime by setting
+`"hive::persisted_documents::skip_enforcement": true` in the request context - see
+[Persisted Documents security guide](/docs/router/security/persisted-documents#per-request-bypass).

 With `require_id: true`, incoming requests must provide a persisted document ID.
 During migration, `log_missing_id: true` helps you find requests that still arrive without an ID.
 
+### Conditional enforcement with expressions
+
+In addition to a static boolean, `require_id` accepts an **expression** evaluated per-request.
+The expression can inspect the request headers, method, URL, and environment variables.
+When it returns `true`, the ID is required, otherwise it is not.
+
+```yaml
+persisted_documents:
+  require_id:
+    expression: |
+      is_null(env("BYPASS_SECRET"))
+      || .request.headers."x-bypass-require-id" != env("BYPASS_SECRET")
+```
+
+### Per-request bypass
+
+If you need to skip the `require_id` check on individual requests (for example during a gradual
+migration or for trusted internal clients), set the `hive::persisted_documents::skip_enforcement`
+flag to `true` in the request context.
+
+The flag is writable from:
+
+- `OnHttpRequest` plugin hook
+- `OnGraphqlParams` plugin hook
+- `router.request` coprocessor stage
+
+When `skip_enforcement` is `true`, requests with a full operation string pass through even when
+`persisted_documents.require_id` is enabled.

 ## Path selector and GraphQL endpoint compatibility
 
 If you use `url_path_param`, do not use root GraphQL endpoint (`http.graphql_endpoint: "/"`).
