Abstract

The method according to the invention is for capturing text data and/or image data for use in the production of identification documents for an applicant, e.g., a passport. The method involves recording electronic image data of the applicant by means of a suitable recording method, such as a digital camera. Further, electronic text data for this applicant is manually or automatically input to the record. Then an electronic set of data of the recorded image data and the input text data is produced. This set of data is signed by means of a qualified signature.

Claims

1. A method for capturing text data and/or image data for producing identification documents for an applicant with the following steps:

recording electronic image data of the applicant by means of a suitable recording method;

inputting electronic text data for this applicant by means of a suitable manual or automatic method;

producing an electronic set of data of the recorded image data and the inputted text data and

having the set of data signed by means of a qualified signature.

2. The method of claim 1, further including the following additional steps:

checking and, if necessary, correcting the data set before the latter is signed.

3. The method of claim 1, further including the following additional steps:

issuing the data set produced and having the issued data set signed digitally or manually by the applicant in addition to or instead of the qualified signature.

4. The method of according to claim 1, wherein the data set is signed electronically and/or stored electronically.

5. The method of claim 1, further including the following additional step:

transmitting the signed data set, if necessary, in coded form, for example, to the institution and/or to a producer of identification documents, issuing the identification document.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the signed data set is stored electronically and/or physically.

7. The method of claim 6, further including the following additional steps:

use of the data set for producing the identification document and for issuing the identification document to the applicant.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the text data and/or the image data is read in partly or completely by means of a reading device for already existing identification documents of the applicant.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the data set is signed by the applicant, in the event that the latter already has a signature card.

10. The method of according to claim 1, wherein the image data, as an additional identifying image characteristic, contains a copy of an official identification document (identification paper, passport).

11. The method of claim 2, further including the following additional steps:

issuing the data set produced and having the issued data set signed digitally or manually by the applicant.

12. The method according to claim 2, wherein the data set is signed electronically and/or stored electronically.

13. The method according to claim 3, wherein the data set is signed electronically and/or stored electronically.
