Automate Data Extraction with Driver’s License OCR

Stay at the forefront of document processing by effortlessly integrating our driving license OCR via API or SDK. Discover how Klippa’s OCR software extracts data from drivers licenses in three simple steps. 

Scan with a drivers license scanner SDK or upload images through our OCR API

Use drivers license OCR SDK scanner to capture the data or upload the images through our OCR API. This document can either be sent from the mobile application, or the web app.

You can choose to send the document to the driving license OCR API uncropped (with the background there), or cropped (without the background). If you choose to send the document uncropped, the drivers license OCR API automatically crops the document.

Transform image to TXT with driving license OCR

In the second step, our driving license OCR solution converts the image or PDF into a TXT file. The data is then extracted from the image of the driver’s license, but not yet structured.

Receive JSON output from the API

As for the final step, the Klippa parser takes the TXT file from the previous step and converts this into a JSON file. The JSON file is then returned to the API as output. After these steps, the process of the driving license OCR is finished and the driver’s license can be processed in the database of the company.
