The Problem We Solve

Where traditional OCR falls short

Template-based engines stall the moment a document changes, and Australian licences refresh constantly.

Template-dependent

Every new document or refresh requires a complete template rebuild.

9–12 month wait

Industry refresh cycles for Australian documents have historically run 9–12 months after issuance.

Fragile to noise

Template systems fail on poor-quality images, compromised edges and complex backgrounds.

No dynamic changes

Cannot adapt to in-field modifications like change-of-address labels.

How It Works

From capture to verified data in one call

One API call runs the whole pipeline: image, read, extract and verify, then returns clean, structured data.

Step 1

Capture

Thales scanner or API upload, imaged in visible, UV & infrared light.

Step 2

AI analysis

Contextual AI reads every field semantically. No templates or preset layouts.

Step 3

Extraction

Structured JSON: names, dates, document numbers, MRZ data and more.

Step 4

Verification

Optional DVS & VEVO checks, fraud detection and document authentication.

No templates to configure Government checks in the same call Structured JSON out
Two Engines, One Outcome

FoxID is built on two AI engines

One reads the text. One understands what it means. Together they make FoxID template-free.

OCR Engine

Reads the text

Built to read real-world captures, not just clean scans.

  • Low-quality and blurry images
  • Reflection or out-of-focus content
  • Mobile device captures
  • Non-typical IDV documents

Classification Engine

Understands meaning

Templateless by design, it recognises the semantic role of every field.

  • Recognises first name, last name, address…
  • Weighted scoring picks the real value
  • Processes documents it has never seen
  • “First name is always first name”
Capabilities

Built for real-world documents

From a single image, FoxID reads, authenticates and classifies. No template configuration required.

Document scan

Template-free AI OCR across 6,000+ unique documents from 100+ countries; extracts MRZ, VIZ and chip data in less than 5 seconds.

6,000+ documentsMRZ + VIZTemplate-free< 5s

Document authentication

Multi-layer security checks: holograms, UV patterns, microprint, font analysis and NFC/RFID chip authentication.

Classification

Automatically classifies document type, issuing country and format from a single image. No template configuration required.

The Customer Benefit

Why template-free matters to you

Traditional OCR: wait for the vendor to build a template every time a document changes. Australian customers have historically waited 9–12 months for support after new documents were issued.

FoxID: no template needed. New licence design released today? FoxID still processes it. No version freeze, no integration backlog, no field rebuild.

FoxID removes the 9–12 month wait Australian customers historically faced after a document refresh.

Use Cases

Common Use Cases

From regulated onboarding to age checks at the door, FoxID OCR powers identity workflows across industries.

Know Your Customer (KYC)

FoxID OCR streamlines the KYC process by accurately extracting and verifying customer identity data from various IDs, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. This reduces manual effort and accelerates client onboarding while mitigating risks associated with fraud.

Age Verification

FoxID provides instant age verification by accurately extracting dates of birth from IDs, helping businesses comply with legal age restrictions. This ensures that age-restricted products and services are only accessed by eligible customers.

Customer Onboarding

Enhance customer onboarding by automating ID data extraction, minimizing errors, and speeding up account creation. FoxID OCR allows businesses to verify identities quickly, improving customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

Remote VOI (Verification of Identity)

Enable secure remote self-serve ID verification by allowing users to submit ID images captured on their devices, with FoxID OCR extracting and validating the data accurately. This facilitates safe and convenient access to services without the need for physical presence.

Live Demo

Live Demo of Driver Licence OCR

Try out the FoxID OCR with Driver Licence sample or with your own ID and see how quickly and accurately it extracts the data from the document.

Note that this demo ONLY extracts data from the front of the licence (Queensland and some other licences have address and other data on the reverse side.)

For the purposes of this demo we omit processing the reverse side, Liveness and Face Match tests. To see these and other features please contact us.

Note: We will not use or share this information, and it will be securely deleted overnight.
