public class MRZHelper
extends Object

MRZ, or Machine-Readable Zone is a codified element of identity documents. Its purpose is to facilitate easier automated scanning of basic personal details of the document holder, such as their full name, document number, nationality, date of birth, and the document expiration date. Today the MRZ can be found on the photo page of any international passport, as well as on many types of ID cards, residence permits, visas, and more. A document which contains MRZ is referred to as a Machine Readable Travel Document, or MRTD for short.
