   I catched a virus (no, not COVID, just a "regular" cold). So why not design a new travel document according to "Guide for Issuing Machine Readable Convention Travel Documents for Refugees and Stateless Persons" [1] by the ICAO and UNHCR with #Inkscape as an exercise?

     @jwildeboer there's not really much that people do that I find weird these days, but DIY bureaucracy as a hobby? Is this something popular in Germany, and are there clubs for it?

     @jwildeboer in the English version of point 2, it begins with a bracket and end with a parenthesis. Also, I wonder if this placeholder don't have to stay empty for writing the name of the state.

     In the point 3 in french : déplacerà -> déplacer à

     @jwildeboer good idea!
     I think that you miss the brackets in the french version of point 2.

     And the MRP Data Page as it is called in the standard, with the MRZ (Machine Readable Zone). And yes, dear experts, the checksums are wrong :)

     @jwildeboer This is a sort of blast from the past for me. I used to work on biometric passports and the like.

     One thing that used to bug me was that you can't read out your picture or fingerprint from your passport yourself, but foreign governments can.

     @jwildeboer ISTR the certs were required for face images as well, but either the specs have been changed, the access control was an issuer country choice, or I simply have forgotten. It's been nearly 20 years after all.
