Document Recognize

Extracts personal data from a photo of an identity document (passport, ID card, etc.). OCR is applied to both MRZ and visual zones where available.

This endpoint only performs document recognition and parsing — no face or selfie comparison.

Endpoint

Request Format

• Method: POST
