DOCUMENT OCR FOR YOUR WORKFLOW
Driver licence and ID OCR for car rental
Prepare renter details from supported identity documents and driving licences. Keep the handover desk focused on document review, vehicle condition and the rental agreement.

Where manual entry slows you down
Collecting a renter’s details across reservation, contract and handover screens can require the same information several times. OCR can populate a draft record without deciding whether the customer is allowed to drive.
A practical workflow
Capture with permission
Capture the required identity document and driving licence with the renter’s knowledge.
Extract and map fields
Map supported fields to the reservation and rental contract, keeping document types separate.
Review before committing
Have staff verify driving entitlement, relevant categories, validity and reservation matches before handover.
Integrate with your existing system
Send an authorised document image from your own backend to the IdScanly REST API. Create a scan session, upload the image and retrieve structured JSON when processing finishes. Map only the fields your application needs; keep API keys on your server and handle timeouts, incomplete fields and retries explicitly.

Document type, country, image quality and layout affect the fields returned. Use confidence information and capture feedback to request a clearer image or send uncertain records to a person. Extracting a field is different from proving it is genuine. Keep the original value separate from any correction made by an operator.
OCR supports data entry. It does not independently provide document authentication, face matching, liveness detection or a complete AML/KYC service.
Keep the data flow proportionate
Collect only what the workflow requires and explain the purpose before upload. IdScanly processes documents without building an archive; temporary processing and result retrieval can involve files and records. The marketing/admin CRM receives identity and activity metadata, never document images or OCR fields. Your own application remains responsible for its storage, retention and user permissions.
Evaluate with your own document mix
Test representative countries, document versions, front/back views and realistic capture conditions. Measure field-level accuracy and review rates against checked references before connecting the output to a live business decision. Share your expected monthly image volume and planned launch date so integration requirements can be discussed.
Questions before integration
Can the OCR result establish driving eligibility?
No. Reading a date or licence field is not a legal determination of entitlement. Category coverage varies; rental policy and applicable licensing rules still need an explicit check.
