Abstract
The invention relates to a method for performing machine checking of electronically-stored personal data in a passport booklet. The data are transmitted in an obscured form to a reader device after the passport has been presented to this reader device, and the accuracy of the obscuring is first verified and the obscuring is then removed. A positive signal is issued in the event of a successful verification. The recovered personal data are subsequently checked for authenticity. The verification and removal of the obscuring, as well as the authenticity check, ensue in a time-staggered manner after the passport booklet has been removed from the reader device by a verifying person in order to conduct further checks.
