scope:

This International Standard establishes guidelines for the design format and data content of an ISO-compliant driving licence (IDL) with regard to Human-readable features (ISO/IEC 18013-1), Machine-readable technologies (ISO/IEC 18013-2), Access control, authentication and integrity validation (ISO/IEC 18013-3) and Test Methods (ISO/IEC 18013-4). It creates a common basis for international use and mutual recognition of the IDL without impeding individual countries/states to apply their privacy rules and national/community/regional motor vehicle authorities in taking care of their specific needs. ISO/IEC 18013-3 makes provision for several options to serve as the scanning area identifier (SAI) on the IDL for use with the BAP or non-match alert mechanisms, which collectively are applicable to SICs, 2D barcode, magnetic stripe and optical memory. This Amendment introduces a 1 line IDL MRZ as a further option to the SAI. Note The content of the IDL MRZ should not be confused with data elements in the passport MRZ.
