Main points:

1. Identification: name in ARABIC scriptis only reliable basis

2. Countries that use the Arabic script should have the benefits of the MRZ

Transliteration Rules - ArabicTransliteration Rules - Arabic

8.3 Languages and characters.When the mandatory elements of Zones I, II and III are in a national language that does not use the Latin alphabet, a transliteration shall also be provided.

The Arabic name must appear in Latin characters in VIZ

Status quo: name in VIZ copied to MRZ

Many phonetic transcriptions of same Arabic name

Many phonetic transcriptions

and possibly over 9,000 more...

MRZ same as VIZ Much variation in (Latin) name

ا�ح�� د��

IDENTIFICATION: the Arabic name is unique

ا�ح�� د��

So the solution is to base the MRZ on the Arabic Na me.

ا�ح�� د��

But the MRZ can only contain OCR-B A-Z and <

ا�ح�� د��

9.4.1 Names in the MRZ are represented differently fromthose in the VIZ. National characters must be transliteratedusing only the allowed OCR character set [A..Z].

Solution: Transliteration of Arabic name into Latin

Reiterate: MRZ is different form of name to VIZ

9.4.1 Names in the MRZ are represented differently fromthose in the VIZ. National characters must be transliteratedusing only the allowed OCR character set [A..Z].

Reiterate: MRZ is different form of name to VIZ

9.1.3 The data in the MRZ are formatted in such a way as to be readable by machines with standard capability worldwide. It must be stressed that the MRZ is reserved for data intended for international use in conformance with international Standards for MRPs.The MRZ is a different representation of the data than is found in the VIZ.

Transliteration - advantage

Name in MRZ is unique (= Arabic name)

Arabic name direct from MRZ

IMPLEMENTATION – Legacy Database

and Border Control

Original Arabic form Other variations can be derived.

IMPLEMENTATION – Name in VIZ

1. Use Civil Register(transcription)

or2. Status quo transcription

or3. Use MRZ transliteration

IMPLEMENTATION - PNR

Only concerned when PNR is used for API, not with P NR for airline use.

IATA/CAWG “API Statement of Principles”

presented to

FACILITATION (FAL) DIVISION— TWELFTH SESSIONCairo, Egypt, 2004-3-22/4-2

stated that:

“Required API data should be limited to the data contained inthe machine-readable zone of travel documentsor obtainablefrom existing government databases, such as those containing visaissuance information.”

IMPLEMENTATION – AIRLINE CHECKING

1. PNR = MRZ

2. PNR = both VIZ and MRZ

1. Essential – solve identity management issue,required for Interpol, aviation security, etc

3. Will be transitional implementation problems,not impossible, but worthwhile goal

2. Using the original name in Arabic is only way

CONCLUSION

TAG is asked to:

1. Note work being undertaken (see also theTechnical Report)

3. Approve eventual inclusion as RecommendedPractice in Appendix 9 to Section IV

2. Provisionally approve, contingent upon commentsat the Qatar Regional Seminar in November
