Extract the passport number, name, date of birth, nationality and expiry date straight from a photo of the passport's data page, including a direct read of the MRZ line, with no passport authority database call involved.
Fast, secure, and compliant verification built for real-world scale.
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.
Extraction happens entirely from the image supplied, so it never depends on passport authority endpoint availability.
Passport number, name, DOB, nationality, issue and expiry dates are extracted from the image in under a second.
Chain the extracted passport number into the Passport Number Verification API when you need to confirm it is valid.
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.
The Machine Readable Zone carries its own check digits; Veriqos validates these to catch a misread before the data reaches you.
Each extracted field is returned with the OCR engine's confidence, so low-confidence reads can be routed for manual review.

Trusted across industries for fast, compliant verification.
Accept a passport as an identity document during onboarding, captured straight from a photo.

Passport 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.
Structured fields come back in under a second, fast enough to sit directly inside a live onboarding form.
Built to read phone-camera captures, not just flat scans, so a quick photo from an onboarding app is enough.
Every field returns with an OCR confidence score, so low-confidence reads can be routed to manual review instead of silently accepted.
Feed the extracted passport number straight into the Passport Verification API when a check also needs to confirm it against official records.
The uploaded document image is processed in memory and is not retained after the response is returned.
Every image upload and response travels over TLS 1.2+, matching the transport security of all Veriqos endpoints.

Image quality decides most extraction results. Ask users to photograph the data page flat, in good light and without glare, and reject blurred images before you send them. Show the fields the passport OCR API extracts back to the user to confirm, check the expiry date against today's date, and verify the passport number before you rely on the passport OCR API output for KYC.
Test a range of real-world photos in the sandbox, including photos taken at an angle or with reflections on the laminate, so you know how your flow behaves before customers see it.
If you are evaluating the Passport OCR API, you may also find our Aadhaar OCR API and PAN OCR API useful, or you can talk to our team about your use case. For the official rules behind it, see the Passport Seva portal.
