Under the hood

Model type
Nyckel-trained

Trained on a Nyckel-curated dataset covering 2 if passport number is in a scan categories, served on Nyckel's own infrastructure — your text snippet stays on Nyckel.

Input
Text

Send raw text to the invoke endpoint; the response is a label with a confidence score.

Make it yours
Adaptable

Clone it, then correct predictions and add your own samples in the console — Nyckel retrains automatically, turning this into a custom model tuned to your data.

More than a demo: this page is one of thousands of pretrained functions on Nyckel, an ML classification platform. You can invoke classifiers by API, review predictions, correct labels, collect samples from production traffic, and promote any pretrained function to a private custom model — without changing your integration.

Where teams use if passport number is in a scan classification

Automated Document Verification

This function can streamline the process of verifying identity documents in sectors such as banking and travel. By automatically detecting the presence of a passport number in scanned documents, organizations can reduce manual checks and enhance processing speed.

Fraud Detection in Financial Services

Financial institutions can use this classification function to identify fraudulent documents submitted for loan applications or account openings. By confirming the presence of a passport number in scans, it helps in assessing the legitimacy of the identity being presented.

Travel Industry Boarding Process

Airlines and travel agencies can incorporate this function to expedite boarding procedures by quickly verifying passenger identities through scanned passports. This ensures a smoother and quicker boarding experience, reducing wait times for both staff and travelers.

Immigration Control at Airports

Airports can utilize this function for real-time checks of scanned documents at immigration counters. It helps border officers confirm that passport numbers are present in scanned documentation, thereby facilitating efficient processing of passengers entering the country.

Regulatory Compliance in KYC Processes

In Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, financial firms can implement this function to ensure compliance with regulations demanding identity verification. By automating the identification of passport numbers, companies can enhance their due diligence processes while minimizing errors.

E-Authentication for E-Commerce

E-commerce platforms can enhance security by utilizing this function when customers provide scanned identity proofs for transactions or account creation. Detecting the passport number ensures that only legitimate and verified users access sensitive platforms, reducing fraud risks.

Digital Libraries and Archives Management

Digital archiving services can employ this classification function to organize and categorize scanned documents by confirming the presence of passport numbers. This helps maintain accurate databases for research and retrieval, ensuring that critical documents are easily accessible and traceable.

Common questions

What's the difference between a zero-shot and a Nyckel-trained classifier?

A zero-shot classifier uses a large foundation model's general knowledge to pick between your labels — no task-specific training, so new or edited labels work immediately. A Nyckel-trained classifier has been trained on labeled examples and runs on Nyckel's own infrastructure, which typically makes it faster, cheaper per call, and more accurate on data that resembles its training set. The "Under the hood" section on this page shows which kind this classifier is, and any classifier can be adapted into a trained one by adding your own examples.

How do I know whether this will work for my application?

Honestly: we can't know in advance — it depends on your data stream and how closely it resembles what this classifier has seen. The reliable way to find out is to measure it on your own data: start invoking the classifier with real traffic, or upload and annotate a set of text samples in the console — make sure they look like your production data, not idealized examples. Nyckel's evaluation metrics then show you exactly how it performs on that data before you rely on it.

What happens when it makes a mistake?

No classifier is perfect, so Nyckel is built around the correction loop: invokes can be captured for review, you confirm or correct predictions in the console, and corrections become training data. Over time the model adapts to your data distribution — accuracy on your traffic improves with use rather than staying fixed.

Do I need training data to get started?

No. This if passport number is in a scan classifier works out of the box — clone it into your console and you'll have your own API endpoint in under a minute. Training data only enters the picture when you want to adapt it: your corrected predictions and uploaded samples improve the model, and you can also edit the label set to match your needs.

What does it cost to try?

Trying the classifier on this page is free with no signup. Cloning it requires a free account, and the free tier covers your first API calls each month — see nyckel.com/pricing for current limits and paid tiers.
