Benefits of
verifying with our
API

Fast, secure, and compliant verification built for real-world scale.

API

MRZ-Backed Accuracy

Reads both the printed visual fields and the Machine Readable Zone at the bottom of the page, cross-checking one against the other for higher accuracy.

API

Works Without a Passport Authority Call

Extraction happens entirely from the image supplied, so it never depends on passport authority endpoint availability.

API

Instant Field Capture

Passport number, name, DOB, nationality, issue and expiry dates are extracted from the image in under a second.

API

Pairs With Passport Verification

Chain the extracted passport number into the Passport Number Verification API when you need to confirm it is valid.

About the Passport OCR API - Extract Passport & MRZ Details from an Image | Veriqos

Turn a Photographed Passport Page Into Structured Data

Veriqos Passport OCR API extracts the passport number, name, date of birth, nationality, and issue and expiry dates directly from a photographed or scanned passport data page, reading and cross-checking both the visual fields and the Machine Readable Zone. It runs entirely on the image supplied, with no call to any passport authority endpoint, and is built to sit upstream of the Passport Number Verification API for teams that also need to confirm the passport number is valid.

MRZ Checksum Validation

The Machine Readable Zone carries its own check digits; Veriqos validates these to catch a misread before the data reaches you.

Field-Level Confidence

Each extracted field is returned with the OCR engine's confidence, so low-confidence reads can be routed for manual review.

How the Passport OCR API - Extract Passport & MRZ Details from an Image | Veriqos works

Security &
Compliance

  • No Raw Image Retention: The uploaded document image is processed in memory for extraction and is not retained after the response is returned.
  • Masked Sensitive Fields: ID numbers are masked in logs and billing records, in line with the same masking standards used across Veriqos verification APIs.
  • TLS-Encrypted Transit: Every image upload and response travels over TLS 1.2+, matching the transport security of all Veriqos endpoints.
  • Consent-Bound Processing: Extraction should only be run on a document the end user has knowingly submitted, consistent with Veriqos consent guidance across all products.

Passport number, name, date of birth, nationality, gender, issue date and expiry date, extracted from the data page and its MRZ.
The Machine Readable Zone is the two-line coded strip at the bottom of the passport's data page. It carries its own check digits, so reading it alongside the printed text catches OCR errors the visual fields alone would miss.
OCR reads data off a photo you supply. Verification separately confirms the passport number is valid. Use OCR to capture data quickly, and Verification when you need to confirm it.
No. OCR only reads what is printed and encoded on the document supplied. Pair it with the Passport Number Verification API if you need to confirm validity.
