AN OPEN REFERENCE INITIATIVE BY KENSHIKI LABS
A source
of reference.
Document intelligence starts with knowing what you’re looking at.
A traceable reference foundation for identity documents across all 51 U.S. jurisdictions. Public sources. Open methods. Evidence you can inspect.
Open code & schemas.

50 states and the District of Columbia. Explore the discovery sources behind the collection and see exactly where review stands.
Download the public indexSOURCE RECORD
Evidence before inference.
Source records and counts will appear when the public index is available. An unavailable index does not establish a coverage gap.
A transparent starting point. Source counts track discovery, not coverage of every active card design. Discovery jurisdiction, publishing jurisdiction, and depicted credentials may differ. Some sources are quarantined as irrelevant. No extracted cohort has been accepted for runtime verification.
COLLECTION SNAPSHOT25 OCTOBER 2026
02 / THE METHOD
From a public source
to a defensible reference.
Extraction is the beginning. Provenance, explicit uncertainty, and review turn an image into evidence.
Extract without pretending.
Preserve native images, text, vector references and their placements. Associate design-specific source statements and leave uncertain relationships for review.
EXTRACTION ≠ ACCEPTANCE
Review before reference.
Review depicted jurisdiction, document family, design generation, and geometry. Keep uncertain observations out of accepted cohorts.
EVIDENCE → REVIEW → COHORT
Evidence appropriate to every claim.
Sourced topology and tested computations can be published directly. ID-1 normalization supplies nominal coordinates. A claimed measurement tolerance or detection rate needs its own supporting evidence; physical-card collection is not a prerequisite for publishing the reference catalog.
OPEN FOUNDATIONS. RESPONSIBLE ACCESS.
Built to be
examined.
Useful infrastructure should make its assumptions inspectable. Cadastre publishes its collection code, schema contracts, and source index. Materials that could enable document replication belong behind accountable access.
