Benefits of
verifying with our
API

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

Instant Field Capture

DL number, name, DOB, address, vehicle class and validity dates are extracted from the image in under a second.

Works Without an RTO Call

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

Cuts Manual Entry Errors

Removes the typos that come from an agent keying in a DL number and address by hand.

Pairs With DL Verification

Chain the extracted DL number into a Veriqos Driving Licence Verification endpoint when you need to confirm it is valid.

About the Driving License OCR API - Extract DL Details from an Image | Veriqos

Turn a Photographed Driving License Into Structured Data

Veriqos Driving License OCR API extracts the DL number, name, date of birth, address, vehicle class and validity dates directly from a photographed or scanned driving license. It runs entirely on the image supplied, with no call to any transport authority endpoint, and is built to sit upstream of a Veriqos Driving Licence Verification endpoint for teams that also need to confirm the license is valid.

Field-Level Confidence

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

Validity Date Parsing

Issue and validity dates are parsed and returned in a consistent format, including separate validity for non-transport and transport vehicle classes where printed.

How the Driving License OCR API - Extract DL Details from an Image | Veriqos works

Security &
Compliance

Driving Licence OCR only ever processes the image you send it, so the security model is built around what happens to that image, not around holding a copy of it.

  • 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.

Why Choose Us

Sub-Second Extraction

Structured fields come back in under a second, fast enough to sit directly inside a live onboarding form.

Handles Real-World Photos

Built to read phone-camera captures, not just flat scans, so a quick photo from an onboarding app is enough.

Confidence-Scored Fields

Every field returns with an OCR confidence score, so low-confidence reads can be routed to manual review instead of silently accepted.

Chains Into Full Verification

Feed the extracted DL number straight into the Driving Licence Verification API when a check also needs to confirm it against RTO records.

No Raw Image Retention

The uploaded document image is processed in memory and is not retained after the response is returned.

TLS-Encrypted Transit

Every image upload and response travels over TLS 1.2+, matching the transport security of all Veriqos endpoints.

Getting reliable results from the driving license OCR API

The driving license OCR API reads what is printed on the card, so image quality decides most of the outcome. A few habits in the capture step remove most of the problems teams see in production.

Capture guidance that helps

Treat OCR as the first step

Extracted text is a starting point. Pair the driving license OCR API with a licence verification check against the issuing record, so the data you store has been confirmed, not just read.
