OCR MRZ-Scan: precision MRZ Scanning in All Conditions
Scan MRZ on passports, IDs or visas in photos, images or video. Seamlessly integrate MRZ
scanning SDK in your web apps, mobile applications or cloud-based solutions.
The core idea behind OCR Studio is Data Privacy.
In line with this idea, we created on-premise solutions.
On-premise OCR
means all data is processed offline directly in the local memory (RAM) and never leaves the
client’s device, which allows us to ensure an unrivaled level of data privacy
for our clients.
Next-Gen Neural Networks for flawless 2-line and 3-line MRZ detection in any environment:
unmatched accuracy with custom neural architecture and curved line recognition, adaptive to any lighting
variations.

local standards.
Automatic MRZ Data Extraction
Effectively extracts all MRZ data fields.
Seamless On-premise MRZ Scanner Integration
Advanced Recognition Features
Provides MRZ OCR confidence scores, object coordinates, personal data masking, and
more.
WebAssembly SDK
Enables in-browser MRZ scan, compatible with all modern web browsers.
Flexible Integration Options
Provides a REST API for low-code MRZ scanner integration and native APIs for C++,
C#, Java, and Python.
Mobile Framework Compatibility
Supports React Native and Flutter for mobile app development.
Comprehensive Usage Examples
Includes practical examples for all supported integration methods.
Securely extracts information from the NFC chip, including the holder's personal data
and digital photographs
NFC ePassport Reading
SDK gives the ability to create an NFC access key using the document's MRZ and extract data from the RFID chip.
Multimodal document MRZ verification
Verify identity documents using advanced image analysis, visible document features
analysis, cross-checking of personal data, and validation of both textual and graphical RFID chip data.
Full ePassport NFC reading (.COM, .SOD, .DG1, .DG2) with passive authentication
Document integrity checks across MRZ ↔ Chip ↔ VIZ
Confirms adherence to ISO/ICAO standard (ISO/IEC 7501-1 / ICAO Document 9303)
Our AI solution ensures maximum data protection by processing all customer information exclusively on the end-user's device.
Your clients' data is never shared with us or any third parties, eliminating the risk of external breaches while maintaining seamless, real-time verification capabilities
All data is processed strictly in the RAM of the device and is never logged or stored, which allows to achieve 100% on-premise architecture.
Verification is fully automated, with no human operators (HITL), crowdsourcing, or Mechanical Turk involvement.
Verify the functionality by disabling the network connection during your testing.
Multi-platform Integration
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MRZ OCR?
MRZ OCR is the specialized technology that automatically reads and decodes the machine-readable zone on
passports and ID cards to instantly extract personal data.
Which documents does OCR Studio scan the MRZ from?
OCR Studio’s technology reads MRZ data from passports, IDs, and visas.
Which MRZ formats does OCR Studio support?
OCR Studio supports all ICAO-compliant MRZ formats, including:
TD1 (ID cards, residence permits): 3 lines, 30 characters each
TD2 (ID cards, residence permits): 2 lines, 36 characters each
TD3 or MRP (passports): 2 lines, 44 characters each
MRVA (visas): 2 lines, 44 characters each
MRVB (visas): 2 lines, 36 characters each
These formats cover the majority of global identity documents used in travel, finance, and government
services.
How does MRZ scanning help in the fight against fraud?
Our MRZ reader provides instant verification by cross-validating extracted MRZ data with personal
details from the document’s visual zone.
What role does MRZ code reader play in RFID/NFC chip verification?
MRZ code reader provides the essential key to unlock and authenticate the RFID/NFC chip in ePassports,
enabling secure data verification.
Why is it important for MRZ reading to be able to work offline?
Firstly, the offline operation of the AI solution ensures there is no data leakage and guarantees the
privacy of personal data, as all information is processed on-premise and never leaves the client’s
device.
Secondly, given the potential for unreliable internet connections — such as unstable Wi-Fi or operating
in production areas outside network coverage — the MRZ document checker must support offline operation
without any degradation in speed or accuracy. Our MRZ scanner SDK enables fully autonomous operation in
any environment.
