Overview

End-to-end passport data extraction and QR code delivery.

The AI agent ingests passport images, extracts structured data via OCR, and standardizes fields. It validates accuracy, aggregates results, and generates a QR code payload. Results are displayed on the form completion page and delivered by email.

Why you should use Passport Data Extraction AI Agent

This AI agent directly addresses common, costly data-entry challenges in identity document processing.

Before
Manual data entry from passport images leads to errors and omissions.
Inconsistent field formats across documents slow downstream processing.
Delays occur due to slow, error-prone manual checks.
Creating and attaching QR payloads is a manual task.
Result delivery can be missed or delayed.
After
Accurate, standardized data with consistent field formats.
Faster processing from automated OCR and validation.
Automated QR code payloads generated for each passport.
Immediate display of results on the completion page.
Reliable email delivery of the final summary.
Process

How it works

A simple 3-step flow anyone can follow.

Step 01

Ingest and Validate

Receive passport image(s) from the form, verify file type, and ensure image quality before OCR.

Step 02

Extract and Normalize

Convert images to base64, run OCR to extract fields, then clean and standardize values.

Step 03

Generate and Deliver

Create a QR payload, generate a QR code image, display results on the page, and email the recipient.


Example

Example workflow

One realistic scenario.

A clerk uploads two passport images. The AI agent quickly extracts key fields (name, passport number, citizenship, date of birth, expiration date) for each image, standardizes the data, and generates two QR codes. The results are displayed on the form completion page and an email with the summary is sent to the recipient. The entire process completes in seconds to keep onboarding fast.

FAQ

FAQ

Practical answers to common setup and operation questions.

Best results come from clear, high-resolution images of the passport data page. Use front-facing scans or photos with even lighting and minimal glare. Ensure all data fields are visible and not obscured by folds or reflections. The AI agent validates image quality before OCR to reduce errors. If an image fails, you’ll be prompted to replace it.

OCR accuracy varies with image quality and document conditions. The AI agent extracts data and then cleans and validates fields to improve reliability. If ambiguity is detected, fields are flagged for review and can be corrected manually. Regular improvements to prompts and prompts settings can further improve accuracy.

OpenAI OCR supports multiple languages; you can configure language hints to improve recognition. For passports with non-Latin scripts, results may vary and may require manual review. The agent flags low-confidence extractions for remediation. If needed, provide higher-quality images to improve results.

Data is transmitted over secure channels and stored only as needed for the workflow. Access controls restrict who can view raw images and extracted fields. OCR results and QR payloads are stored with limited retention, and emails are sent to verified recipients. You can enable additional encryption and data retention policies to meet compliance.

Yes. The QR payload can be structured to fit your system requirements. You can adjust the payload fields, encoding, and metadata included in the QR code. The agent regenerates QR codes when data changes and avoids duplicates. If you need a specific schema, provide the mapping in the configuration.

The AI agent accepts common image formats such as JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. Uploaded files must be image types and within size limits defined in the form. For best OCR, use uncompressed or lightly compressed images with minimal noise. If a file is not an image or is too large, the system rejects it and prompts for a valid file.

Begin by testing with 1–3 clear passport images to validate OCR and QR generation. Connect your OCR API credentials and email service (e.g., Gmail) in the setup steps. Verify that results display on the form completion page and that emails arrive correctly. After successful testing, deploy to production and monitor for any parsing errors or edge cases.
