GritWorks US KYC Identity Documents (Specimens): synthetic document sample

A free preview of the US KYC Identity Documents (Specimens) sample pack from GritWorks: one consistent fictional identity across US identity documents and proof of address. Every identity document carries a visible SPECIMEN - NOT VALID FOR IDENTIFICATION marking.

Each document comes as a clean PDF and a degraded capture (for example blur, photocopy, coffee stain, skew, crop or low light), with expected field values (JSON) and field bounding boxes. Use it to check how OCR, document parsers and vision-language models hold up when capture quality drops.

Want the whole pack? This preview holds 2 of the pack's 5 document pairs. The complete 10-PDF sample pack is free on GritWorks: get the full US KYC Identity Documents (Specimens) pack. Qualified teams can also get the full PDF dataset free after a short call.

What's inside

• proof of address: clean + crop
• driving license: clean + bad photo

Folder	Contents
pdf/	Input PDFs (clean and degraded). Degraded PDFs are rasterized and have no hidden text layer.
ground_truth/	*.json expected values; *.boxes.json field boxes in PDF points (top-left origin); *_bbox.json normalized vertices and 96-DPI pixel boxes.
images/	Page-1 PNG renders (150 DPI) with metadata.jsonl (document type, condition, expected values) for quick viewing.

Boxes cover selected populated fields, not every label or static word. Expected values do not change when a field is obscured or clipped. No OCR confidence is asserted. Keep the JSON out of model inputs.

Good uses

• Field-extraction evals: compare your extractor's output with the expected JSON on clean vs. degraded pairs.
• Regression tests after a model, prompt or pipeline change.
• Sandbox integration for PDF ingestion without touching real customer documents.

Limitations

• A small preview, not a training corpus and not a validated benchmark. The reference data is not an automated scoring system.
• All people, businesses, accounts and records are fictional.
• Third-party names or logos, where they appear, belong to their owners and are not covered by the license.
