AUSid - Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

The ATO requires an OCR solution that allows the client to scan their identity document using the device’s camera and prefill the fields required to verify the attributes using DVS.

The OCR technology will assist in streamiling the process of proving a client’s identity using AUSid. This technology will allow the client to scan their identity document (e.g. driver’s licence, passport or Medicare card) using the device’s camera and prefill the fields required to verify the attributes using the Document Verification Service (DVS). Whilst assisting in the process of proving your identity, functionality would also assist in detecting fraudulent or altered identity documents.
