Description: Doc 9303 has been expanded to cover Machine Readable Travel Documents and is being issued in separate parts, each of which covers a different type of travel document. Part 3 presents the first edition of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) technical specifications for generic, machine readable, official travel documents. The specifications are published for the guidance of States and are based on fundamental principles in Doc 9303. Generic formats and minimum mandatory data elements are provided as a basis for standardization while allowing for flexibility of document design for States and international organizations. These will maintain the desired harmonization of basic data elements and, most importantly, machine readability.
