Government ID card extractor: KYC data without typing

National ID cards, one schema

Government-issued identification cards from the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia share a purpose but not a layout. This extractor normalizes them into one identity record, whatever the issuing country prints where.

Fields captured

• Document number
• Full name (surname and given names)
• Date of birth
• Address where present
• Nationality
• Document class / type
• Issuing authority and issuing state or country
• Date of issue and date of expiry
• Barcode / MRZ data where the card carries it

Front, back, and barcode

Many ID cards encode the authoritative record in a back-side barcode or MRZ strip. The extractor reads both sides, parses the encoded data, and cross-checks it against the printed front. Mismatches are flagged for review rather than silently accepted.

Where it is used

• Customer and supplier KYC/KYB onboarding
• Credit and lending application processing
• Age and identity verification in regulated sales

For travel documents, use the passport extractor; for driving credentials, the driver license extractor. Identity data is sensitive. See our trust page for security posture.
