ISO 7810 is an international standard that defines three formats for identity or identification cards, ID-1, ID-2, and ID-3.
ID-1 The ID-1 format specifies a size of 85.60 × 53.98 mm (3.370 × 2.125 in). It is commonly used for banking cards (ATM cards, credit cards, debit cards, etc.). It is today also used for driving licences in many countries (including the United States and European Union), retail loyalty cards, and it is one fairly common format for business cards. ID-2 The ID-2 format specifies a size of 105 × 74 mm (4.134 × 2.913 in). This size is the A7 format. The ID-2 format is used, for example, by the German (Identity document). This slightly larger format provides enough space for a clearly recognizeable facial photo, but is still small enough to be carried in a wallet. ID-3 ID-3 specifies a size of 125 × 88 mm (4.921 × 3.465 in). This size is the B7 format. This format is used worldwide for passports and visas. Under an agreement between ISO and ICAO, MRTD standards are developed primarily by ICAO, with participation and consultation by ISO in ICAO's Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on MRTD's. Once approved, changes and additions to the MRTD standards in ICAO Document 9303 receive "fast-track" consideration for approval by ISO. The primary source for information concerning MRTD standrads is thus ICAO, not ISO. ICAO Document 9303, Part 1 defines the formats for machine-readable travel documents. The 6th edition of Part 1 of Document 9303, published by ICAO in 2006, is separated into 2 volumes: Doc. 9303, Part 1, Volume 1 describes "passports with machine readable data stored in optical character recognition format". Doc. 9303, Part 1, Volume 2 contains "specifications for electonically enabled passports with biometric identification capability" using embedded contactless RFID chips. See also | ||||||||
