Passport Extraction Agent
Extract and structure passport data for automated KYC and compliance workflows
Description
Challenge:
Client onboarding and identity verification often require passport information, which comes in varying formats across countries. Manual extraction is slow, error-prone, and risks miskeying critical fields such as names, passport numbers, or dates. Variations in layouts, multiple passports per upload, and abbreviation inconsistencies further complicate processing. Without automation, organizations face delays, compliance risks, and potential errors in KYC/AML verification processes.
How It Works:
The Passport Extraction Agent ingests passport images or PDFs, detects passport sections even within multi-document uploads, and extracts only the required fields. OCR converts text from all layouts, normalizes abbreviations (e.g., M → MALE, F → FEMALE), and validates against defined field-level rules. Missing or unreadable data is returned as empty strings. Multiple passports in a single upload are output as a JSON array. Structured outputs are traceable and ready for downstream KYC, identity verification, or compliance systems.
Benefits:
Achieves 95–98% accuracy across varied passport layouts.
Reduces manual data entry and associated errors.
Enables sub-2-second extraction per single-passport document.
Standardizes outputs with strict field naming and formatting rules.
Provides audit-ready, traceable JSON for compliance workflows.

Features & Capabilities:
Document Detection: Identify passport sections among multiple document types.
OCR Extraction: Convert scanned images or PDFs into text for all passport fields.
Field Mapping & Normalization: Map extracted text to structured fields; convert gender abbreviations to full form.
Multi-Passport Handling: Aggregate multiple passports into a JSON array.
Validation Rules: Missing or unreadable fields are returned as empty strings; formats strictly enforced.
Structured Output: JSON array with pre-defined field schema for downstream processes.
Audit Logging: Maintain extraction logs for compliance and quality verification.
Operating Blueprint
Knowledge Sources:
Passport images or PDFs.
International passport format guidelines.
Historical passport datasets for reference and field validation.
Business Rules:
Mandatory Fields Rule: Passport number, name, DOB, gender, place of birth, date of issue, validity, and issuing authority must be captured.
No Assumptions Rule: Do not infer missing or unreadable data; assign empty strings.
Abbreviation Normalization Rule: Convert M/F to MALE/FEMALE; retain other document values as-is.
Format Compliance Rule: Preserve exact field formats and casing from the passport.
Tool Workflow:
Receive passport image or PDF upload.
Preprocess: enhance image, correct rotation, handle multi-page documents.
Detect and segment passport document(s) from other uploads.
Apply OCR to extract text from required fields.
Map extracted text to structured schema; normalize abbreviations.
Validate fields and assign empty strings for missing/unreadable values.
Aggregate multiple passports into JSON array.
Emit final structured JSON and maintain audit logs.
