    Abstract: This disclosure describes a verification service within a service provider network for automatically verifying and validating documents. A user may upload a document image to the verification service. A pre-processing service may pre-process the document image. The pre-processed document image may then be forwarded to a first machine learning ML model for similarity evaluation. Once the first ML model has completed its evaluation of the document image, the first ML model may forward the document image to a second ML model for symbol recognition, which may then forward the business license to an optical recognition (OCR) service for OCR validation. If the document image is validated, e.g., is an image of a purported document type, as will be discussed further herein, the publishing service may pre-populate, e.g., publish, information from the document image to an account template.
