ICAO 9303 - Part 1

The Seventh Edition of Document 9303 represents a restructuring of the ICAO specifications for Machine Readable Travel Documents. Without incorporating substantial modifications to the specifications, in this new edition Doc 9303 has been reformatted into a set of specifications for Size 1 Machine Readable Official Travel Documents (TD 1), Size 2 Machine Readable Official Travel Documents (TD 2), and Size 3 Machine Readable Travel Documents (TD 3), as well as visas. This set of specifications consists of various separate documents in which general (applicable to all MRTDs) as well as MRTD form factor specific specifications are grouped.

Section 5.1 "Doc 9303 Composition" provides an overview.

Part 1 introduces the Doc 9303 specifications. It describes the build-up of the twelve parts of Doc 9303, provides general information on ICAO, and guidance on the terminology and abbreviations used throughout the specifications.

These specifications are not intended to be a standard for national identity documents. However, a State whose identity documents are recognized by other States as valid travel documents shall design its identity documents such that they conform to the specifications of Doc 9303-3 and Doc 9303-4, Doc 9303-5 or Doc 9303-6.

Although the specifications in Doc 9303-4 are intended for particular application to the passport, these specificationsapply equally to other TD3 size identity documents, for example, the laissez-passer, the seafarer's identity documentand refugee travel documents.
