Passport OCR in 3 Steps

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

Step 1: Upload your document(s)Step 2: Image to text (OCR)Step 3: Parsing to JSON

Scan passports with a scanner SDK or upload them through our Passport OCR API

The first step is sending a passport file to our API. We support formats such as .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xlsx, .heic, .webp and more. Usually, this is done from a mobile app, email, FTP, or web application.

The image can be sent either cropped (without a background) or uncropped (with a background). If you send the document uncropped, our API will automatically crop the document.

To optimize the image quality, use our scanner SDK.

Transform image to TXT with OCR Passport Engine

As soon as the document has been received, it is converted to a TXT file by our OCR passport reader. At this step, all the data from the passport is extracted into a text format, but not yet structured.

Receive JSON output from the OCR Passport API

As the final step, the Klippa Parser takes the TXT which was gained from the previous step and converts it into structured JSON. The JSON is then returned as output from the Passport OCR API.

From this point on, the passport can easily be processed in the database of your company. An extra option is to extract additional data like the signature or the passport picture.
