Common questions
Quick answers to common questions about our International ID Document OCR API.
What types of documents can this OCR process?
It can extract key data from any international identity document including Passports, ID Cards, Travel Documents, and Residence Permits from over 190 countries.
Does it support MRZ (Machine Readable Zone)?
Yes, it fully supports TD1, TD2, and TD3 MRZ types. This covers most international travel documents, including Passports (TD3) and ID cards (TD1/TD2).
Does it extract the address from the document?
Yes, it extracts address information whenever available on the document. The data is structured into specific fields such as street address, city, state, zip code, and country for easy integration.
Does it support local and national ID documents?
Yes, the extractor is not limited to any specific document type or shape. Any national or international document will work. While it works best with documents containing an MRZ for optimal results, it can process any ID document regardless of its origin.
