I need to validate the MRZ because manual MRZ checks are slow and inconsistent across reviewers.

The Problem
This feature validates the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) to reduce time spent on manual checks and improve consistency across reviewers. It helps ensure MRZ data is evaluated the same way every time, supporting faster and more reliable document review.

The Solution
This feature provides MRZ validation to address the slowness and inconsistency of manual MRZ checks across different reviewers. It is intended to standardize how MRZ strings are assessed so that reviewers rely less on subjective or error-prone manual interpretation. The validation focuses on confirming that the MRZ content meets expected formatting and integrity rules, helping reviewers quickly determine whether the MRZ appears valid. Reviewers can use it during document verification workflows to reduce repetitive manual steps and speed up decisions. By applying the same validation approach each time, the feature improves cross-reviewer consistency and reduces variance in outcomes. It also supports quality control by making it easier to spot MRZ issues that might otherwise be missed during a busy manual review. This is especially useful in higher-volume review operations where small inconsistencies can lead to delays or rework. The feature can be used whenever an MRZ is present and needs to be checked as part of an identity document review. Overall, it improves efficiency, supports more uniform decision-making, and reduces the operational burden of MRZ verification.

Use this tool as a solution to the following problems
- I need to confirm that the document a user uploaded is actually a passport, not another type of ID.
- I want to detect when someone uploads the wrong document type so I can prompt them to upload a passport instead.
- I want to catch cases where the MRZ is missing or unreadable before the verification workflow continues.
- I need a reliable way to flag passport uploads with MRZ formatting issues so they can be re-submitted.
- I want to reduce delays caused by discovering MRZ problems only after later verification steps fail.
- I need an automated check that helps my team handle high volumes of passport submissions without increasing headcount.
- I want to standardize how passport and MRZ checks are performed across different products and regions.
- I need to quickly identify poor-quality uploads that prevent accurate MRZ validation so users can upload a clearer image.
