DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a passport structure,
In particular, the present invention relates to improvement of a built-in structure of personal information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional passport is shown in FIG.
A personal data sheet 2 is collated inside a cover sheet (a sheet forming a front cover and a back cover) 1, and a plurality of visa sheets 3 are further arranged inside the personal data sheet 2.
And the three members 1, 2, 3 are bound along the central folding line Y to bind a virgin passport.

[0003] At the time of ticket issuance, personal information of an immigrant is recorded on the inner surface of the personal data sheet 2 of the virgin passport, and a transparent protective film 4 is laminated on the surface of the personal information recording page to protect information and forge. We are trying to prevent it.

In general, the protective film 4 is bound together with the other sheets 1, 2, and 3 at the time of bookbinding of the virgin passport and is used for the lamination.

More specifically, the protective film 4 is provided with a binding margin 4a which extends over the throat surface of the personal data sheet 2 beyond the center fold line (thread binding line) Y. , 2 and 3 together with the binding thread 5 for use in the lamination.

The personal data sheet 2 is a cover sheet 1
Affixed to the inner surface of the device or left free.

[0007]

As described above, in the conventional method, personal information is directly recorded on a personal data sheet which is bound in advance in a bound virgin passport. You must prepare a virgin passport that has been bound.

The personal data sheet is a special sheet on which a watermark pattern or the like for preventing forgery is printed. It is difficult to prepare a large number of virgin passports in which this personal data sheet is bound together with a visa sheet in advance. Increase the chances of illegally obtaining or faking a virgin passport.

If a recording error occurs on a personal data sheet, the entire passport must be discarded.

[0010] In addition, since personal information is recorded only on one side of a paper personal data sheet and this recording surface is covered with a see-through film, the amount of recorded information is limited. For example, it is possible to record the personal information on the inner surface and the outer surface of the personal data sheet bound in advance to increase the recording amount. In this method, however, the individual who is bound while opening the virgin passport is opened. The process of inverting and printing the data sheet becomes complicated.

[0011]

According to the present invention, a personal data card on which personal information of an immigrant is recorded is prepared separately from a virgin passport. That is, a large number of personal data cards corresponding to a large number of ticketing applicants are prepared in advance separately from the virgin passport.

On the other hand, it is not necessary to bind a personal data sheet provided with forgery prevention means to the virgin passport, and a synthetic resin face film and a back film for holding the personal data card later are bound. Prepare your virgin passport.

[0013] The personal data card is inserted between the face film and the back film, and both films are stuck on both sides of the personal data sheet, so that the personal data card is firmly held between the previously bound films. Hold and hold firmly in your passport.

At least one of the above films is made transparent, and the transparent film is attached so as to cover the surface of the personal data recording page of the personal data card.

Alternatively, personal information is recorded on the inner surface and the outer surface of the personal data card, and both the face film and the back film are formed of transparent films, and the personal information is recorded on both films. Adhere to cover the inner and outer surfaces of the data card.

The face film and the back film have a binding margin that sticks out from the rear edge of the personal data card and is stuck together with a visa sheet and a cover sheet for stamping an immigration mark. Put in.

Further, the front edge, the top edge, and the ground edge of the cover sheet (front cover and back cover), the visa sheet, the personal data card, the face film, and the back film other than the binding margin forming portion are respectively positioned on the same vertical plane. The personal information card is cut, and the cut surface of the front edge is used as a reference surface (sliding surface) when reading the personal information record for machine reading recorded along the front edge of the personal data card.
