What is the Algerian Passport MRZ (Machine Readable Zone)?

An automatic reading zone, or optical reading zone, is an area, on an official document, reserved for the reading, identification and validation of this document. Thus, documents such as passports, national identity cards, residence permits, driving licences can or must include, depending on the country and the version of the document, an optical reading zone. It is located in the lower part of identity documents: it contains all the information on the document with security keys to verify its authenticity and the fact that it has not been modified. The information found in it varies depending on the type of document.

How is the Algerian passport MRZ strip/line constituted?

British passports, like all passports, have two lines of text, each containing alphanumeric characters. For the details of the information found there, you can consult our article at the following address: Secure file – Checking the MRZ strip of a passport.

Why use this method to detect fraud?

The data found there is passport data protected by multiple validation keys, making it difficult to modify them. It is therefore one of the verification tools used by airport aviation security to ensure that identity documents have not been falsified.
