A machine-readable passport is a passport with two typeface lines printed at the bottom of the biographical page, which can be read by a machine. To check whether your passport is machine readable, please look at the bottom of your passport [the photo page] for two lines that are typeface lines. These lines have letters, numbers and hatch marks. The two lines at the bottom of a machine-readable passport, for example, would look like the following:
LINE 1: P<COUNTRY INITIALS SURNAME<<FIRST NAME<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
LINE 2: PASSPORT NUMBER<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<YEAR OF ISSUE
