To scan for IDs and extract information such as Social Security Numbers, full names, and birth dates, you can use the Vision framework's capabilities as discussed in the session "Read documents using the Vision framework" from WWDC 2025. The Vision framework provides an API called RecognizeDocumentsRequest, which allows developers to extract structural elements and important information from documents. This includes detecting tables, lists, and grouping lines of text into paragraphs, as well as identifying important information like email addresses, phone numbers, or URLs.
For more detailed information on how to implement this, you can refer to the session Read documents using the Vision framework (02:45).
If you are interested in verifying identity documents on the web, the session "Verify identity documents on the web" discusses using the Digital Credentials API and the Document Provider API to handle identity verification securely. This session covers how to request and handle identity data, ensuring that sensitive information is protected.
For more information on this topic, you can refer to the session Verify identity documents on the web (06:17).
