Bio-Data Scanning

Extracting personal information from official documents.

Lesson Goal: Learn how to quickly find personal details, dates, and statuses on ID Cards, Licenses, and Passports.

Reading Official Documents

When you travel internationally or fill out important forms (like opening a bank account), you will need to provide your personal information, also known as bio-data.

Officials, security guards, and automated systems don't read your documents like a book. They use scanning to find specific fields. They look for bold headings, acronyms like "DOB" or "EXP", and standard formats to quickly verify your identity and ensure your document is still valid.

Go to the next tab to learn the common bio-data vocabulary, then practice scanning the three ID cards in the Practice tab!
