Important Notes
For a single scan, we recommend using a clear photo under 2MB. Strong glare or severe creases will affect recognition accuracy. Please close the page promptly after extracting sensitive information.
Technical Notes & Tips
For third-generation Social Security cards issued after 2018, it is recommended to avoid glare on the chip area in the bottom right corner when taking the photo. Typical recognition example: Input [SS_Card_Front.jpg] → Output {"Card Number":"A123456789","Name":"John Doe","ID Number":"110101199003072396"}
