Passports

Nanonets is an AI-based workflow automation software centred around our revolutionary OCR engine. We have many pre-trained models to extract data from standard customer documents, Passports being one of them.

We can help extract structured information from Passports, including Name, Date of Birth, Sex, Passport Number, etc.

Note: Our pre-trained OCR model is optimised for US Passports but for extracting data from passports of any other country, we recommend using our Zero-training OCR model, which can be set up within minutes and requires no training at all.
