What this API enables

The Deepvue Passport OCR API enables organizations to:

Skip manual passport entry

Turn an uploaded passport into structured fields in a single call, so staff stop keying details by hand.

Prefill onboarding forms

Drop the extracted fields into account-opening forms instead of asking the user to retype passport details.

Cross-check the machine-readable zone

Confirm whether the passport's MRZ was read, so you can flag scans that need a sharper image or manual review.

Accept whatever the user uploads

Handle phone photos and scanned PDFs in the same endpoint, with no separate conversion step before sending.

Catch expired passports at intake

Validate that a passport is still in date before onboarding, instead of discovering it later in review.

How the API works

From document upload to structured passport data in four steps.

Upload document

Submit a user-provided passport image or PDF through a secure API request.

Process and identify

The OCR workflow processes the document and identifies passport-related text regions.

Extract and normalize

Structured fields are extracted and normalized.

Return fields

A response is returned with passport data ready for downstream use.

The response can be integrated into onboarding, document review, prefill, or internal operations workflows.

Document input and usage context

The Passport OCR API is designed to work on user-provided passport images or PDF documents.

Consent and permissible usage

Passport OCR workflows are intended to be used within lawful and permissible document-processing workflows.
