Class Gender

Represents the gender/sex field as defined in the ICAO MRZ standard.

Inheritance

System.Object

Gender

Namespace: IronOcr

Assembly: IronOcr.dll

Syntax

public sealed class Gender : Enum

Read the sex field of a scanned passport in C# through Gender, which mirrors the value coded in the ICAO machine-readable zone. Male corresponds to M in the MRZ and Female to F. Unspecified covers X or <, used when the document leaves the field open or marks it non-binary. The value surfaces on a passport result after a passport read, so a project can store or branch on it without parsing the raw MRZ. The read passport how-to extracts MRZ fields end to end.
