MACHINE READABLE PASSPORT SECTION

 

Machine Readable Passport

The Government of Pakistan has introduced Machine Readable Passports (MRP) incorporating special security features designed to check human trafficking and forgery. Pakistan is one of 80 countries in the world to have moved towards machine-readable traveling documents and first in the South Asia.

This Machine Readable Passport was presented at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) conference in Montreal, Canada where it was declared as a leader in implementing ICAO's vision of a smart passport, integrating RFID, facial recognition and fingerprint technologies. It also contains digitally printed personal data with a photograph in the bar code. Pakistan has earned soft image with the introduction of MRP which is the authentic travel document.

The process flow adopted for the new MRP/MRV system is most suitable for a country like Pakistan where registration of all genuine citizens is considered most vital because of its geopolitical circumstances. The Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) or Computerized Registration Certificated (CRC) or the National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistani(NICOP) being made as mandatory for issuance of the Machine Readable Passport (MRP). The issuance of passports is directly complementing the government's efforts to increase the number of people in its citizen database and in improvement of the overall governance of the country.
