The Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) is the two-line code at the bottom of a passport data page, standardized under ICAO 9303. It encodes name, nationality, document number, date of birth, and expiry in a format readable by machines. Our OCR engine targets the MRZ directly for maximum accuracy, then cross-validates the result against the visual zone.
Our model achieves 99.3% field-level accuracy on standard ICAO-compliant passports. Images below 150 DPI or with heavy glare may slightly reduce accuracy.
All ICAO 9303-compliant passports are supported, including TD3 (standard passport), TD1 (ID card), and TD2 formats. This covers passports from virtually all countries globally.
The core engine is delivered as a RESTful API rather than a heavy SDK, making it universally compatible. We provide lightweight SDK wrappers for major languages. You can submit passport images as file uploads or Base64 strings to receive structured JSON data for your KYC or onboarding pipelines.
