Drivers License Parsing FAQs

We’d be happy to answer any additional questions. Please book a demo with our team to get more information.

What is driver's license parsing?

Drivers license parsing, also known as driver's license extraction, is a technological process that extracts and organizes data from driver's licenses in a structured format. The goal of driver's license parsing is to save time, reduce human error, increase processing efficiency, and improve data accuracy in KYC, onboarding, and identification verification workflows.

This process involves utilizing natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to identify crucial information such as service information, account details, monthly usage, meter readings, fees, due dates, customer information, and more. The extracted data is then categorized and stored in a systematic manner, allowing for efficient searching, analysis, and management.

At Sensible, our AI-powered platform provides robust utility bill parsing capabilities that are customizable, accurate, and fast.

How does driver’s license parsing work?

Drivers license parsing, also known as driver's license extraction, is the process of converting unstructured driver's license data into a structured format. Here's how it generally works:

Document Input: A driver's license in various formats - such as .pdf, or a scanned image - is uploaded into the driver's license parser.

Pre-processing: The parser software performs preprocessing steps to prepare the document for extraction. This can include Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for scanned images or PDFs, removing special characters, and converting the entire text to a standard format.

Parsing: The parser then analyzes the standardized text to identify and tag different sections such as personal information, physical description, issuing state information, and so on. Advanced parsers, like Sensible, can even handle complex structures such as tables, checkboxes, and handwriting.

Data Extraction: After tagging, the parser extracts relevant data points based on predefined categories or tags. The parser converts these data points into a structured format, making it easy to store, manage, and analyze.

Output: The parser generates an output usually in a structured format like JSON or XML that can easily be incorporated into various applications and systems.

It's important to note that the quality and accuracy of driver's license parsing can significantly vary based on the parsing software used. Sensible’s advanced AI-driven approach to driver's license parsing ensures high accuracy and versatility, capable of handling various license types and layouts, even ones it has not encountered before. This provides users with reliable and efficient extraction of data from driver's licenses.

What is OCR for driver's licenses?

OCR, or Optical Character Recognition, is used to convert different types of documents, including driver's licenses, into editable and searchable data.

For driver's licenses specifically, OCR works by scanning the license, whether it's a physical paper, a PDF, or an image file, and recognizing the characters within it. This technology is capable of identifying text within the document and converting it into a format that can be edited, searched, or digitally stored.

However, traditional OCR has its limitations. While it can effectively 'read' the text in a document, it may struggle with understanding the context or structure of an invoice, especially if the document's layout is complex or inconsistent.

That's where advanced document extraction platforms, like Sensible, come in. These platforms go beyond simple character recognition. They can understand the structure and context of the data in a driver's license, which allows for more accurate and efficient extraction of key information such as address, date of birth, license number, expiry date, and more.

OCR for driver's licenses is a crucial technology for onboarding and identification verification, enabling businesses to save time, reduce manual errors, and improve operational efficiency.
