Abstract

An identification document (1) with a personalization region (3) for receiving biometric image information (5) is proposed. The personalization region (3) comprises a recording layer (11) for image information as well as a lens arrangement (20). Viewing the biometric image information (5) is effected through the lens arrangement (20). The biometric image information (5) holds basic information (12) consisting of a base image (15) and a derivative image (16) derived from the base image (15). The derivative image (16) shows or emphasizes a constituent of the base image (15) that is essential for recognition. At a first viewing angle (α1) the base image (15) is dominantly recognizable, at a second viewing angle (α1) the derivative image (16), so that in the perception of the image information combined from base image (15) and derivative image (16) a plastic overall impression arises.
