Amazon Identity Documents Extraction
 (1) (1).png)
The Amazon Identity Documents Service makes use of pre-trained ID doc models to extract Key-Value Pairs of invoice-related data making use of Amazon AnalyzeID API. The processing of invoices returns relevant information from passports, driver licenses, and other identity documentation issued by the US Government, such as Name, Surname, ID Number, and Date of Birth.
Key names are standardized within the response. For example, if your driver license says LIC# (license number) and passport says Passport No, Analyze ID response will return the standardized key as Document ID along with the raw key (e.g. LIC#). This standardization lets customers easily combine information across many IDs that use different terms for the same concept.
Possible use cases
- Extracting invoice-related data.
- Match Name and Surname fields to other supporting docs to verify the identity of a person.
