ISO/IEC 7810

ISO / IEC 7810 is an international standard, the four formats for identity documents - ID-1, ID -2, ID -3 and ID -000 - defined.

ID-1

The ID -1 format corresponds to 85.60 mm × 53.98 mm. Areas of application are, for example, bank cards, credit cards, debit cards, driving licenses and introduced 1 November 2010 Electronic identity card.

The aspect ratio of 1.586: 1 corresponds approximately to the golden ratio ( 1.618: 1).

• ISO / IEC 7813 defines additional features for Plastic bank cards in ID 1 format, for example, a thickness of 0.76 mm and rounded corners with a radius of 3.18 mm.
• ISO / IEC 7811 defines traditional techniques for the storage of data on cards in ID -1 format, that is embossed characters (so-called " Embossing " ) and various methods of magnetic data storage.
• ISO / IEC 7816 defines ID-1 identity cards with contactless chip cards (smart cards ) and contact-based chip for power, clock, reset, and serial data signals.

Other standards in this area are JIS -1 and JIS -2.

Magnetic stripe card

A magnetic stripe card ( engl. Magnetic Stripe Cards, Magstripe short ) in the ID -1 format can contain up to three tracks (English tracks):

• Track # 1: 79 alphanumeric characters (à 6 data bits 1 parity bit )
• Track # 2: 40 numeric characters ( of 4 data bits 1 parity bit )
• Track # 3: 107 numeric characters ( of 4 data bits 1 parity bit )

Maps may contain any subset of these tracks.

Track # 1

This track uses its own character set, which is easily converted by the addition of 32 (2016) in ASCII. The data on Track # 1 are usually coded as follows:

Track # 2

This track uses its own character set, which can easily be converted by the addition of 48 ( 3016 ) in ASCII. This addition causes the bit value of 0 is mapped to the character "0". The data on Track # 2 are usually coded as follows:

Track # 3

This track is unlike the first two writable, its format is not defined until start character, stop character and security code (same as Track # 2). Some banks use it to store encrypted PIN information here.

ID -2

The ID -2 format has a size of 105 × 74 mm; this corresponds to the format DIN A7. There was, for example, the German identity card application that was issued with the application by the end of October 2010.

ID-3

The ID-3 format has a size of 125 × 88 mm; this corresponds to the format DIN B7. This format determines the size of the world of passports. It should be noted that passports with flexible envelope (eg the provisional German passport) usually correspond exactly to the ID - 3 format, with passports with solid cover (eg the German ePassport ) are the insides of the ID 3 format, while the cover protrudes approximately 2 mm. Visa labels are in turn slightly smaller than the ID - 3 format to allow (usually in the ID -2 format ), including an easy gluing.

Under an agreement between the ISO and the International Civil Aviation Organization ( ICAO) standards for machine readable travel documents are developed primarily by the ICAO, with the participation of and consultation with the ISO by the membership of the Technical Advisory Group on Machine Readable Travel Documents ( Technical Advisory Group on MRTDs ) is secured. Once an amendment or supplement to the related standards in ICAO document 9303 is decided, it will be decided in summary proceedings by the ISO. The main source of information regarding the standards for machine readable travel documents is thus the ICAO, and not ISO.

The ICAO Document 9303 specified in Part 1 of the formats for machine readable travel documents. The 6th edition of Part 1 of the document was published by ICAO in 2006 and consists of two volumes: the first volume describes " passports with machine- readable data in text recognition format ," the second volume describes " specifications for electronic passports with biometric identification capabilities " using embedded RFID chip.

ID-000

The ID -000 format has a size of 25 × 15 mm. This format is mainly used for SIM cards in mobile phones.
