Passport

The Passport template may be used to read Passports, Visas and other official travel documents based on the ICAO standard.

Passports and Format-A Visas each consist of two rows of 44 OCR-B characters. Format-B Visas and TD-2 travel documents each have two rows of 36 OCR-B characters, while TD-1 travel documents employ three rows of 30 OCR-B characters. Each row is read separately and some rows may be omitted from data output if there are decoding problems. Multisymbol should be used to decode and output multiple rows of data.
