Passport Number for Veriphy

UK & International Passports – entering the data

The passport number is taken from the bottom line of characters on the details page of the client’s passport:

The Date of Expiry of the Passport is also taken from this page.

The number entry field is split into nine sub fields. These parts can be read from the passport in the order as follows:

• 9 characters made up of a combination of numbers and/or letters. When there are fewer than 9 characters it will be padded out to the right with chevrons (<<<)
• 1 number
• 3 letters
• 7 numbers
• 1 letter
• 7 numbers
• An international passport will have up to 14 characters in this field (numbers and/or letters). If none exist, as for a UK Passport, or where less than 14 characters exist, the field will be padded out, but only to the right, with chevrons (<). You should input the data exactly as it is shown on the actual passport field, i.e. input all chevrons to the left of the characters and do not ignore or leave these as blank spaces. Where less than 14 characters, the field will be padded out to the right with chevrons (<), i.e. <Z1234567<<<<<
