ANNEX I

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:

I.1   ABBREVIATIONS

I.2   DATA STORED ON THE MICROCHIP

I.2.1    Harmonised mandatory and optional driving licence data

The microchip shall store the harmonised driving licence data specified in Annex I, Paragraph 3, to Directive 2006/126/EC. If a Member State decides to include in the driving licence data items marked as optional in Annex I, Paragraph 3, of Directive 2006/126/EC, these items shall be stored in the microchip.

I.2.2    Additional data

After consulting the Commission, Member States may store additional data, provided that it does not interfere in anyway with the implementation of Directive 2006/126/EC.

Member States intending to introduce additional data shall provide the Commission with detailed information on the type of additional data and the reasons for storing such data on the microchip. The Commission shall examine this information and, where appropriate, deliver an opinion in the light of the requirements laid down in this Annex and after consultation of the Working Party established under Article 29 of Directive 95/46/EC. The Commission shall also indicate in its opinion, where appropriate, whether the additional data is to be stored in the EU driving licence application or in another application.

I.3   MICROCHIP

I.3.1    Storage medium type

The storage medium for driving licence data shall be a microchip with a contact, contactless, or combined contact and contactless (dual) interface, as specified in Annex II, item 1 of this Regulation.

I.3.2    Applications

All data on a microchip shall be stored in applications. All applications on the microchip shall be identified by a unique code called Application Identifier (AID) as specified in Annex II, item 2.

I.3.2.1    EU Driving Licence Application

Mandatory and optional driving licence data shall be stored in the dedicated EU Driving Licence application. The AID for the EU Driving Licence application shall be:

‘ A0 00 00 04 56 45 44 4C 2D 30 31 ’,

consisting of:

Data shall be grouped in Data Groups (DGs) as part of a Logical Data Structure (LDS).

DGs shall be stored as Elementary Files (EFs) in the EU Driving Licence application, and shall be protected in accordance with Annex II, item 3.

I.3.2.2    Other Applications

Other additional data shall be stored in one or more dedicated applications apart from the EU Driving Licence Application. Each such application shall be identified by a unique AID.

I.4   LOGICAL DATA STRUCTURE OF THE EU DRIVING LICENCE APPLICATION

I.4.1    Logical Data Structure

Driving Licence Data shall be stored on the microchip in a Logical Data Structure (LDS) specified in Annex II, item 4. This paragraph specifies additional requirements for the mandatory, optional and additional DGs.

Each DG shall be stored in one EF. The EFs to be used for the EU Driving Licence Application shall be identified with the Elementary File Identifiers (EFIDs) and Short EF identifiers as specified in Annex II, item 5.

I.4.2    Mandatory Data Groups

The mandatory and optional data elements shall be stored in the following DGs:

DG 1 data shall be structured as specified in paragraph I.6 of this Annex and as specified in Annex II, item 6. Data contained in other DGs shall be stored according to the specifications of Annex II as specified in Annex II, item 7.

I.4.3    Additional Data Groups

The additional data elements shall be stored in the following DGs:

Data contained in these DGs shall be stored according to the specifications of Annex II, item 8.

I.5   DATA PROTECTION MECHANISMS

Appropriate mechanisms shall be used for the validation of authenticity and integrity of the microchip and data contained in it and for restricting access to driving licence data.

Data on the microchip shall be protected according the specifications laid down in Annex II, item 3. This paragraph specifies additional requirements to be complied with.

I.5.1    Authenticity Verification

I.5.1.1    Mandatory Passive Authentication

All DGs stored in the EU Driving Licence application shall be protected with passive authentication.

Data related to passive authentication shall conform to the requirements specified in Annex II, item 9.

I.5.1.2    Optional Active Authentication

Optional Active Authentication mechanisms shall be applied to ensure that the original microchip has not been replaced.

I.5.2    Access Restriction

I.5.2.1    Mandatory Basic Access Protection

The Basic Access Protection mechanism (BAP) shall be applied for all data in the EU Driving Licence application. In the interest of interoperability with existing systems such as that using Machine Readable Travel Documents (eMRTD) it is mandatory to use the one-line Machine Readable Zone (MRZ), as specified in Annex II, item 10.

The Kdoc document key used to access the chip is generated from the one-line MRZ, which can be entered either manually or using an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) reader. The BAP 1 configuration defined for a one-line MRZ as specified in Annex II, item 10 shall be applied.

I.5.2.2    Conditional Extended Access Control

When more sensitive data are stored on the microchip, access to such data shall be restricted with additional measures.

The Extended Access Control mechanisms shall comply with the specifications of Annex II, item 11.

I.5.3    Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for driving licences including a microchip

The single contact point defined in Article 6 shall establish the necessary national arrangements for Public Key management, in accordance with Annex A of ISO standard 18013_3.

I.6   DATA PRESENTATION

I.6.1    Formatting of data in DG 1

I.6.2    Logical record format

The categories regarding vehicles, restrictions or conditions shall be compiled in a data object following the structure specified in the following table:

ANNEX III

Procedure for EU type-approval of driving licences which include a microchip

III.1   GENERAL PROVISIONS

Manufacturers applying for an EU type-approval of driving licences including a microchip shall present a security certificate and a functional certificate.

Any intended modification to the production process, including software, shall be subject to a prior notification to the authority which granted type-approval. The authority may require further information and tests before accepting the modification.

Tests shall follow the methods laid down in item 12 of Annex II to this Regulation.

III.2   SECURITY CERTIFICATE

For the security evaluation, driving licence microchips shall be evaluated according to the criteria specified in Annex II, item 13.

A security certificate shall only be delivered upon successful evaluation of the ability of the microchip to resist attempts to tamper with or alter data.

III.3   FUNCTIONAL CERTIFICATE

A functional evaluation of driving licences including a microchip shall be laboratory- tested in accordance with the criteria specified in Annex II, item 14.

Member States implementing a microchip on driving licences shall ensure that the relevant functional standards and the requirements of Annex I are complied with.

A functional certificate shall be delivered to the manufacturer once:

The relevant Member State authority is responsible for issuing the functional certificate. The functional certificate shall indicate the identity of the issuing authority, the identity of the applicant, the identification of the microchip and a detailed list of the tests and their results.

III.4   EU TYPE-APPROVAL CERTIFICATE

III.4.1    Model certificate

Member States shall deliver the EU type-approval certificate on the presentation of security and functional certificates as provided in this Annex. EU type-approval certificates shall comply with the model in Annex IV.

▼M1

III.4.2    Numbering system

The EU type-approval numbering system shall consist of:

Example of the EU type-approval numbering system: e50-DL00 12345

The approval number shall be stored on the microchip in DG 1 for each driving licence carrying such microchip.
