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

A machine-readable zone, or machine-readable zone, is an area on an official document reserved for reading, identifying and validating the document.

Documents such as passports, national identity cards, residence permits and driving licenses can or must include an optical reading zone, depending on the country and the document version.

It is located at the bottom of identity documents: it contains all the information on the document, with security keys to check that it is authentic and has not been altered.

The information it contains varies according to the type of document.

How is the Brazilian passport MRZ strip/line constituted?

Like all passports, British passports have two lines of text, each containing alphanumeric characters.

For details of the information it contains, please consult our article at the following address: Secure file – Checking a passport’s MRZ band.

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.
