How does the Danish passport validity check work?

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

For example, 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 version of the document.

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.
