21、 Doc 9303, Part 2, Machine Readable Visas (MRVs) represents a substantial modification of the specifications in the Second Edition (1994) and completes the work undertaken in ICA0 to revise and harmonize the specifications for machine readable passports, visas and official travel documents. As was d
22、one in the revision of Parts 1 and 3, the specifications in Part 2 have been augmented to provide for structural features to enhance the security of the document and expanded machine readable data storage capacity beyond the OCR-based Machine Readable Zone, including optional bar code and/or contact
23、less integrated circuit(s) to accommodate identity confirmation with biometrics. In addition, two policy changes, intended to deter the misuse of a visa by someone other than the rightful holder, are reflected in the new specifications: a provision that only one person be identified on each visa, an
24、d a mandatory field in the MRV format for the visa holders portrait or other identification feature. As a result, the new edition presents a significantly streamlined set of specifications with fewer format style options. (iii) Copyright International Civil Aviation Organization Provided by IHS unde

INTRODUCTION ICAOs work on machine
47、 readable travel documents began in 1968 with the establishment, by the Air Transport Committee of the Council, of a Panel on Passport Cards. This Panel was charged with developing recommendations for a standardized passport book or card that would be machine readable, in the interest of acceleratin
48、g the clearance of passengers through passport controls. The Panel produced a number of recommendations, including the adoption of optical character reading (OCR) as the machine reading technology of choice due to its maturity, cost-effectiveness and reliability. In 1980, the specifications and guidance material developed by the Panel were published as the first edition of Doc 9303, titled A Passport with Machine Readable Capability, which became the basis for the initial issuance of machine readable passports by Australia, Canada and the United States.
