## What the OCR Voter Id API does

OCR Voter Id extracts the printed fields from a voter ID card: the EPIC number, holder name, relation name, date of birth, gender and address.

Voter ID is widely held and commonly used as address proof, especially outside metros where alternatives are scarcer. Reading it automatically avoids the transcription errors that come with regional-language printing.

## Where teams use the OCR Voter Id API

1.  Using voter ID as address proof in KYC
    
2.  Onboarding customers who hold no PAN or passport
    
3.  Digitising voter ID copies from paper files
    
4.  Extracting details before running voter ID verification
    

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does it confirm the voter ID is real?

No. Use Voter Id Verification to check the extracted EPIC number against electoral records.

Does it handle regional scripts?

Cards are often bilingual. Extraction targets the Latin-script fields, which are the ones you will match against other records.

Which fields are most reliable?

EPIC number and name read most consistently. Addresses vary more, since layout and print quality differ considerably between states.
