ID – Indonesian Passport MRZ Tape Verification

How to verify Indonesian passport online ?

Many business or personnel processes require the presentation of proof of identity: recruitment, rentals, KYC processes, etc.

Nowadays, the pieces are usually scanned or photographed before being sent by email: therefore, it becomes complex to ensure that these pieces are authentic and have not been modified with image processing software such as Photoshop.

Our product addresses this issue and makes it possible to extract information from the MRZ tape of identity documents directly online, analyze it and verify the security keys that ensure its authenticity.

And this in a few seconds!

You save time in your administrative procedures and offer a smoother experience to your future employees.

What is the Indonesian Passport MRZ Tape (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 Indonesian 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.

What data is extracted from the MRZ Indonesian passport line?

The data extracted from the MRZ band are as follows:

• Front row:

1. Document Type: A code indicating the type of document, represented by the letter “P”.
2. Type: one character for countries that distinguish between passport types.
3. Country code : 3-character code for the issuing country.
4. Last name and first name : Last name and first name of the person separated by two “<“, then completed by “<“.

2. Control key : 1 numeric character, document number control key.
3. Nationality: 3 characters indicating nationality according to ISO 3166-1 alpha-3.
4. Date of birth: 6 numeric characters (two-digit year, month and day in YYMMDD format).
5. Control key : 1 numeric character, control key for date of birth.

Am I charged if the Indonesian passport MRZ information is not extracted correctly from the document?

The answer is no! Only a document that has been correctly recognized is billable!

If the attachment is not detected or is detected incorrectly, you will not be billed: only a successful analysis will be deducted from your verification credits.
