What is MRZ or MRTD?
MRZ is an abbreviation for Machine Readable Zone, whereas MRTD refers to Machine Readable Travel Document. MRZ is a document format containing the document holder's data in a form which is both visually readable and encoded with optical character recognition. It can be found on most of the passports and identity documents worldwide. BlinkID SDK or WEB API supports scanning and decoding of all documents with MRZ.
