Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about id card & passport data extraction.
What is an automated ID card and passport parser?
An automated identity document parser uses AI and OCR to read ID cards, passports, and driver's licenses, extracting fields like document type, full name, date of birth, document number, nationality, issuing authority, and expiry date into structured data for KYC and proof-of-identity workflows.
Which identity documents does PerfectParser support?
PerfectParser supports international passports, national ID cards, driver's licenses, and residence permits from countries worldwide. For licenses, it reads the front and the back when the address is printed on the reverse. The AI adapts to different layouts and 2-line or 3-line MRZ formats automatically.
How do I export the extracted identity data?
Extracted identity data can be downloaded as CSV, Excel, or JSON for integration with your KYC platform, CRM, or onboarding system.
Can PerfectParser parse the MRZ on passports and ID cards?
Yes. PerfectParser extracts the Machine Readable Zone as text — two lines on a passport (TD3) and three lines on many national IDs (TD1) when they are printed. It does not run check-digit validation or flag mismatches. You compare the MRZ strings with the visual-zone fields in your own KYC workflow.
Can I process ID documents in bulk for onboarding?
Yes. Upload batches of identity PDFs, scans, or photos at once. PerfectParser processes them in parallel and delivers a consolidated dataset of extracted identity fields, ideal for high-volume KYC workflows.
What ID document fields can PerfectParser extract?
PerfectParser extracts Document Type, Full Name, Given Name, Surname, Date of Birth, Gender, Place of Birth, Nationality, Document Number, Issue Date, Expiry Date, Issuing Authority, Address (including from the back of a driver's license), and MRZ lines 1–3 when printed.
Does PerfectParser extract address and place of birth?
Yes, when they appear. Place of birth comes from the visual zone on passports and many national IDs. Address is extracted from ID cards and driver's licenses, including the back of a US-style license when that side is in the upload.
Is PerfectParser a proof of identity parser?
Yes. KYC and onboarding teams use it as a proof of identity parser: upload the passport, ID card, residence permit, or license, and export structured holder and document fields. PerfectParser extracts the data; it does not perform liveness, face match, or government-database verification.
Is identity document data secure with PerfectParser?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256). PerfectParser does not use identity document data to train AI models, and you can configure automatic deletion after processing to meet data minimization requirements.
