Dataset Use Cases

  • Identity Verification & Security Systems

    Developing AI Models for Passport Recognition

    Synthetic Printed UK Passports Dataset supports research and development in identity verification and document recognition systems. Containing diverse passport images of British passports and United Kingdom passports, it enables training of facial recognition and document authentication algorithms. This data helps enhance recognition technology used by government services and immigration databases.

  • Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

    Training Deep Learning Models for Document Classification

    This UK passport dataset serves as high-quality training data for building machine learning and deep learning models capable of identifying travel documents and identity cards. The dataset consists of synthetic passport photos and structured personal details, allowing developers to test recognition algorithms without using sensitive personal data.

  • Border Control & Immigration Systems

    Testing Recognition Accuracy in Biometric Verification Tools

    The dataset provides a controlled environment for testing biometric data and document verification methods used in immigration systems. Simulating real UK passports, it supports government databases and border control authorities in improving recognition accuracy, passport validation, and foreign nationals’ identity checks.

  • Research & Educational Applications

    Developing and Evaluating Synthetic Identity Datasets

    It is ideal for academic research, focusing on national identity, recognition systems, and biometric passports. The datasets provided contain printed passport samples that replicate authentic document layouts while ensuring data privacy. Researchers can explore recognition searches, technology workflows, and identity verification models using ethically sourced, non-sensitive information.

FAQs

What is included in this dataset?
The dataset contains 5,000 synthetic passport images, each representing a unique printed document. Every sample is provided in HEIC or JPG format, featuring varied angles (0°, 25°, 45°), lighting conditions, and backgrounds, allowing robust model training and validation.
What types of annotations are provided?
Each synthetic passport image includes detailed metadata annotations. These labels describe passport ID, sample ID, gender, country, age group, lighting type, background, angle, resolution, and timestamp, providing structured reference data for training and benchmarking OCR or ID recognition systems.
Can I request a sample of the dataset before purchasing or downloading it?
Yes. Unidata provides free sample files that allow you to test and evaluate the dataset before purchase.
Is it possible to request a custom dataset?
Yes. You can request a custom synthetic passport dataset tailored to your project needs, such as different lighting, document angles, or background conditions. Unidata’s team can generate AI-based passport images for specific countries or formats to support advanced machine learning and document recognition research.
How was the data collected?
Synthetic Printed UK Passports Dataset was generated using AI-based synthetic data generation techniques. The images replicate real-world passport printing and scanning scenarios under multiple conditions - including diverse lighting, textures, and camera setups - to create realistic and balanced training data.
How are Unidata datasets licensed?
Unidata datasets follow a dual-licensing model: free samples are provided for evaluation and testing, while full datasets are available exclusively through purchase. This ensures transparent access for both academic research and commercial development.
Do Unidata datasets follow GDPR or other data privacy regulations?
Yes. All Unidata datasets comply with GDPR and relevant data privacy regulations. Since the UK passport dataset is entirely synthetic, it does not include real personal or biometric information, ensuring lawful and ethical use for AI research and product development.
Is this a real-world dataset or synthetic data?
This is a synthetic dataset, created using AI-based data generation technology. The dataset contains artificially produced UK passport images that mimic real-world documents while excluding any real or identifiable personal data, making it safe for open research and commercial AI training.
