Social security number field extraction
An image speaks more than a thousand words. Below is an example of the three steps our OCR engine takes to automatically extract social security numbers from documents.
Uploading documents to the API
The first step is providing a picture or a PDF file of a document containing a social security number to our API. Usually this is done from a mobile app, email, FTP or web application.
Image to text using OCR
As soon as a picture or PDF has been received, each page is converted to a TXT file. In this step all the text from the document is extracted, but it is not yet structured.
Getting JSON output from the API
The Klippa Parser takes the TXT gained from the OCR in step 2 and converts it into structured JSON using machine learning. The JSON is then returned as output from the API. The social security number on the document is now extracted.
From here the field can easily be processed into your database. Whether you are processing social security numbers for registration, identification or other purposes, Klippa is here to help.

What is a social security number?
In the United States, a social security number (SSN) is a 9-digit number that the U.S. government issues to all U.S. citizens and eligible residents who apply for one.
Other countries may have different forms, names or abbreviations for their social security numbers, but they all serve the same purpose: to track individuals. Governments use these numbers, for example, to keep track of someone’s lifetime earnings or the number of years worked.
As such, social security numbers have become a (de facto) national identification number for taxation and other purposes in many countries.
Did you know that apart from social security numbers, Klippa OCR can scan other types of data fields, such as IBANs, VAT numbers, or even BIC numbers? Contact us for more information.
