Passport

Whether you are building a Know Your Customer (KYC) process, onboarding flow, or document verification pipeline, Mindee helps you parse structured passport data with accuracy.

Take a look at our demo for the Indian Passport model:

Why Use Mindee for Passports?

Passports vary in format depending on the country, language, and issuance authority. Mindee simplifies extraction by letting you:

• Describe which fields matter to you

• Upload sample documents to refine extraction

• Get structured outputs without training models yourself

Two Ways to Start Building your Passport Model

1. Choose Passport from Our Catalog (recommended)

• Select "Passport" on our document models.

• The AI will give you a list of fields you can choose from. Select the fields you need and create your first model.

• Option : if you want to refine your model, go to "Data Schema" and ask for additional fields.

• Now that your model is ready, you can try a live test.

2. Build a Passport Model from Scratch

• Ask the specifications directly to the AI assistant (e.g. "I want a model that extracts the following fields from passports: surname, date of birth and MRZ").

• Additionally, you can upload a sample passport if needed for clarification.

• Mindee builds you a tailored parser in seconds.

If you want to try and do a live test, here is a sample for Indian passport:

Indian Passport Example

Indian passports include additional region-specific fields. If you're processing Indian passports, our technology is also able to extract, for example, those fields:

Field	Description
Name of Legal Guardian	Often the father’s name or guardian’s name
Name of Spouse	Appears if applicable
Name of Mother	Optional field
Old Passport Number	Prior document if applicable
Old Passport Date of Issue	Issue date of prior passport
Old Passport Place of Issue	Location where the prior passport was issued
File Number	Government-issued file reference
Address Line 1–3	Full residential address

You can just upload an Indian passport and ask to extract the fields present.

Document Format

• We support both single-page and multi-page PDFs/images of passports.
