Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0601640A1] Known identification documents such as passports and driving licences have a photograph for purposes of identification of the holder of the document. Due to the fact that such a photograph can be replaced by another photograph, such known documents are fraudproof only to a limited extent. If these identification documents already provided with the photograph are further provided according to the invention with a copy of the photograph printed on the identification document, they become highly fraudproof, due to the fact that the printed copy cannot be replaced, and the photograph can be compared at any time with said printed copy, which makes replacing the photograph pointless. <IMAGE>
