Why Passport Scanning Is Not Just OCR for Travel Agents — It’s Their Business Backbone
For a travel agent, a passport is never just an image or a PDF.
It is the foundation of every tour booking, visa application, bank submission, corporate record, and compliance file. One small error — a spelling mistake in the name or an incorrect date of birth — can delay visas, disrupt travel plans, and create unnecessary stress for both agents and customers.
Yet, despite its importance, passport handling in many travel agencies is still inefficient and fragmented.
The Real Problem Travel Agents Face with Passport Scanning
Most agencies still rely on:
Passport images received on WhatsApp
Manual typing into Excel sheets
Repeated data entry for each new tour or visa
Unorganized folders with no long-term structure
This leads to:
Wasted manpower
Higher chances of errors
Difficulty in retrieving old customer data
Re-scanning the same passport again and again
The issue isn’t scanning itself.
The issue is how passport data is stored, organized, and reused.
Travel Agents Don’t Scan Passports Once — They Reuse Them
A single passport is often used:
For multiple international tours
For visas to different countries
For bank documentation and payments
For corporate or group travel
For repeat customers over several years
Generic OCR tools extract text and stop there.
They don’t understand tour-wise workflows or long-term data reuse.
That’s exactly where DocScan.in is different.
