Passport extractor: MRZ and identity data in seconds

Worldwide passport coverage

Passports differ by country in layout, language, and script, but the data they carry is standardized. The passport extractor reads passports from around the world and returns a consistent identity record.

Fields captured

Visual inspection zone

• Passport number
• Country code and issuing authority
• Surname and given names
• Nationality
• Date of birth and place of birth
• Sex
• Date of issue and date of expiry

Machine-readable zone (MRZ)

• Both MRZ lines, parsed field by field
• Check digits validated

MRZ vs. printed data

The extractor reads the MRZ and the printed fields independently and compares them: a disagreement between the two is a strong signal of a poor scan or a tampered document, and routes the case to human review.

Typical workflows

• KYC/KYB onboarding for customers and counterparties
• Customs and cross-border shipment documentation
• Identity verification alongside the government ID card extractor and driver license extractor
