Carte Vitale - FRANCE OCR
Automatically extract data from french “Carte Vitale”.
Mindee’s Carte Vitale - FRANCE API uses deep learning to automatically, accurately, and instantaneously parse your card details. In under a second, the API extracts a set of data from your PDFs or photos of Carte Vitale, including:
- Given Name(s)
- Surname
- Social Security Number
- Issuance Date
The Carte Vitale - France API supports the new and old format for all people in France. The cards of other nationalities and states are not supported with this model.
Set up the API
Before making any API calls, you need to have created your API key.
- You'll need a french carte vitale. You can use one of the sample documents provided below.
- Access your API by clicking on the Carte Vitale - FRANCE card in the Document Catalog
- From the left navigation, go to documentation > API Reference, you'll find sample code in popular languages and command line.

- Replace my-api-key-here with your new API key, or use the "select an API key" feature and it will be filled automatically.
- Copy and paste the sample code of your desired choice in your application, code environment or terminal.
- Replace
/path/to/my/file
with the path to your document.
Always remember to replace your API key!
- Run your code. You will receive a JSON response with the document details.

You can find the prediction within the prediction
key found in document > inference > prediction
for document-level predictions: it contains the different fields extracted at the document level, meaning that for multi-pages PDFs, we reconstruct a single object using all the pages.
Each predicted field may contain one or several values:
- a
polygon
highlighting the information location - a
page_id
where the information was found (document level only)
