Identity document OCR for property rental

Support prospective-tenant administration with structured identity fields. IdScanly helps prepare the identity portion of a rental file without turning document extraction into tenant screening.

Where manual entry slows you down

Property teams often copy the same name and document details between enquiries, draft leases and administration tools. A controlled OCR step can support data entry while limiting the information collected at each stage.

A practical workflow

  1. Capture with permission

    Explain why identity data is required at this particular stage of the application.

  2. Extract and map fields

    Populate a draft applicant or lease record with only the necessary supported fields.

  3. Review before committing

    Review the document-to-record match and remove unneeded fields before finalising the file.

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.

Build a review step into the process

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

Does OCR assess a tenant’s credit or suitability?

No. It extracts printed information. Income checks, references, credit assessment, eligibility and lawful tenant-selection decisions are outside the OCR service.
