A space shall be reserved on the driving licence to allow for the possible inclusion of a microchip or similar IT device, or for the possible printing of a QR code. The colour references shall be as follows: the words ‘Driving Licence’ printed in large type in the language or languages of the Member State issuing the driving licence; (optional) the name of the Member State of issuance; the distinguishing sign of the Member State of issuance, printed in negative in a blue rectangle and encircled by 12 yellow stars, as laid down in Part D, point 1; information specific to the driving licence issued (fields 1 to 9), as laid down in Part D, point 3; the words ‘European Union model’ in the language or languages of the Member State of issuance and the words ‘Driving Licence’ in the other languages of the European Union, printed in pink to form the background of the driving licence, as laid down in Part D, point 2. information specific to the categories of the driving licence issued (fields 9 to 12), as laid down in Part D, point 4; information specific to the administration of the driving licence (fields 13 and 14), as laid down in of Part D, point 5; an explanation of the following numbered fields which appear on sides 1 and 2 of the driving licence: 1, 2, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5, 10, 11 and 12. blue: Pantone Reflex Blue; yellow: Pantone Yellow. |
(4) | Special provisions Where the holder of a driving licence issued by a Member State in accordance with this Annex has his or her normal place of residence in another Member State, the latter Member State may enter on the driving licence such information as is essential for administering the driving licence, provided that it also enters this type of information on other driving licences which it issues, and provided that there remain enough space for that purpose. Member States may add colours or markings, such as bar codes or national symbols, without prejudice to the other provisions of this Annex. Member States shall inform the Commission thereof. In the context of the mutual recognition of driving licences, any bar codes shall not contain information other than that which can already be read on the driving licence or which is essential to the process of issuing the driving licence. Information displayed on the driving licence card shall be legible with the naked eye to a person of average visual acuity, using a minimum character height of 5 points for fields 9 to 12 on side 2. |
PART A2: Anti-forgery specifications for the physical driving licence
(1) | The threats to the physical security of driving licences include: production of false cards: i.e. creating a new object which bears great resemblance to a true document, either by making it from scratch or by copying a true document; material alteration: changing a property of an original document, for instance by modifying some of the data displayed on the document. |
(2) | The system for protection against forgery shall form an integral part of each element of the overall licensing system, including the application process, the secure transmission of data, the card-body material, the manufacturing technique, a minimum set of various security features, and the personalisation process. |
(3) | The material used for driving licences shall be made secure against forgery by using the following techniques (mandatory security features): card bodies shall be dull under ultraviolet light; a security background pattern designed to be resistant to counterfeiting by scanning, printing or copying, using rainbow printing with multicolour security inks and positive and negative guilloche printing. The pattern shall not be composed of the primary colours (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow or Key), shall contain complex pattern designs in a minimum of two special colours, and shall include micro-lettering; optical variable elements providing adequate protection against copying of and tampering with the photograph; laser engraving; in the area of the photograph, the security design background and the photograph shall overlap at least on the border of the photograph (weakening pattern). |
(4) | In addition, the material used for driving licences shall be made secure against forgery by using at least three of the following techniques (additional security features): In so far as possible, the techniques indicated with an asterisk shall be preferred, since they enable law enforcement officers to check the validity of the card without any special means. Member States may introduce security features other than those listed under this point. colour-shifting inks*; thermochromic ink*; custom holograms*; variable laser images*; ultraviolet fluorescent ink, visible and transparent; iridescent printing; digital watermarking in the background; infrared or phosphorescent pigments; tactile characters, symbols or patterns*. |
PART B: Specifications for microchips included in physical driving licences

(2) | The list of applicable standards for driving licences which include a microchip is set out in Part B2. |
(3) | Driving licences which include a microchip shall be subject to a Union type-approval procedure in accordance with Part B3. |
(4) | Where all relevant provisions of the Union type-approval have been met with respect to a driving licence which includes a microchip in accordance with points (1), (2) and (3), Member States shall issue a Union type-approval certificate to the manufacturer or its representative. |
(5) | Where necessary, in particular to ensure that this Part is complied with, a Member State may withdraw a Union type-approval certificate that it has issued. |
(6) | Union type-approval certificates and the notification of their withdrawal shall comply with the model set out in part B4. |
(7) | The Commission shall be informed of all Union type-approval certificates issued or withdrawn. In the case of a withdrawal, the withdrawing Member State shall provide detailed reasoning. The Commission shall inform the Member States of any withdrawal of a Union type-approval. |
(8) | Union type-approval certificates issued by Member States shall be mutually recognised. |
(9) | Where a Member State ascertains that a significant number of driving licences which include a microchip are repeatedly found not to be in conformity with this part of this Annex, that Member State shall communicate that fact to the Commission. It shall indicate the relevant Union type-approval certificate number connected to those driving licences, as well as a description of the non-compliance. The Commission shall, without undue delay, inform the other Member States of the facts communicated to it in accordance with this point. |
(10) | The Member State of issuance of the driving licences referred to in point (9) shall investigate the problem without delay and take appropriate corrective action, including, where appropriate, the withdrawal of the Union type-approval certificate. |
PART B1: General requirements for driving licences which include a microchip
The general requirements for driving licences including a microchip described in this Annex are based on international standards, in particular the ISO/IEC 18013-series standards. They cover:
