The IssueThe Issue

� Trial Schiphol Airport 18 June and 13 November 2007� Self Service Kiosk for passengers on departure� Used documents Passports & ID1 and ID2 identity cards� During trial ID1 cards were taken out� Observations

– There are 7 potentially incorrect ways to present the ID1 card– The ID card was often presented 180 degrees out of alignment with the self

service receptacle.– Reasons:– Turning card on scanner gave following problems:

• Due to limited space for hand under the top plate scanner, the user couldn't see what is happening under the plate.

• As the physical construction of an card is mostly synthetic and flat, a user with short finger nails was not easily able to remove the card from the scanner or turn the card

The IssueThe Issue• An automated match between the front side and the rear side was not possible,

causing the card to be automatically rejected. As a result, the information was correctly displayed on the screen but, as there was no mechanism to verify whether the front and rear of the card belong together, the system rejected the card as authentication could not be guaranteed.

• Consequently, immigration officers had to undertake manual checks, adding unnecessary time to the overall control process.

� Germany– Will introduce new ID card and change from ID-2 to ID-1. One of the

disadvantages discovered is that in border control processes the card has to be turned to be able to read and compare front and rear side.

� 5.1 The NTWG invites the TAG/MRTD:

– a) to take note of the work that has be done to date on the technical report;– b) recognize the importance of reading e-travel documents at the border in

an efficient and non intrusive way by border officials or the passengers themselves at a self service kiosk;

– c) to look for solutions to create synergy in reading ICAO compliant travel documents;

– d) to submit to the sub-working group other options in order to find the most efficient way to address the automated processing issues relating to td1 format cards;

– e) to approve continuation of the on-going work in this area.
