KYC Compliance - Instant Passport & ID Verification with Vision LLMs
In Fintech and Banking, speed is everything. 40% of users drop out of an onboarding flow if it takes more than 5 minutes. Yet, you face strict KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations.
DocsRouter provides a bridge between regulatory compliance and modern user experience.
Extracting Data from ID Cards
Passports and IDs are notoriously hard to read for computers.
- Holograms: Reflective security features confuse standard cameras.
- Microtext: Tiny fonts are lost in compression.
- Variety: There are over 2,500 different ID templates globally.
Vision LLMs excel here. A model like Gemini 3 Flash has seen millions of examples of ID cards during training. It doesn't need a template; it recognizes the concept of "Date of Birth" whether it's on a US Drivers License or a French Passport.
The " Selfie" Check
While DocsRouter focuses on the document extraction, you can pair our API with a liveness check.
- User uploads ID: Sent to DocsRouter (
POST /v1/ocr). - DocsRouter Extracts: Name, DOB, Passport Number, Face Image (cropped).
- User takes Selfie: Your app compares the Selfie to the Cropped Face Image.
Privacy & Security
Sending PII (Personally Identifiable Information) to the cloud is sensitive. DocsRouter offers Zero-Retention Mode.
{
"retention": "zero",
"redact_sensitive": ["ssn", "document_number"]
}When this flag is set, we process the document in memory, stream the JSON response to you, and immediately wipe the data from our RAM. It never touches a disk.
