OCR Studio Confirms OCR MRZ-scan Support for the Next-Generation ICAO/ISO MRZ Standard
December 17 2025
OCR Studio, a developer of AI-powered document recognition systems, has adapted its OCR MRZ-scan solution in advance of the upcoming ICAO/ISO changes to the machine-readable zone (MRZ) format in identity documents. The system correctly handles IDs that follow the current ICAO Doc 9303 specification as well as those that will comply with the new standard once it is officially adopted. This helps banks, fintech companies, telecom operators, government agencies, and other regulated businesses maintain stable KYC and border-control workflows throughout the transition period.
