The Nation publishes its passport standard in full and invites inspection.
1. Document
ICAO Doc 9303 Part 4, TD3 booklet: 125 × 88 mm, 32 pages; polycarbonate data page, laser-engraved; watermarked security paper for visa pages; sewn binding; numbered blanks under the Register's stock control. Validity 10 years (adults), 5 years (minors).
2. Data page
Visual inspection zone as 9303 Part 4; machine-readable zone two lines of 44 OCR-B characters with check digits; document type P; issuing code GRT; nationality GRT. The passport number is the Record Code issued by the Register — [FAMILY]-[YYMMDD]-[NNNNNN] — and no other number; in the MRZ it is written without hyphens using the 9303 extended-number rule (first nine characters in the number field, '<' in its check-digit place, the remainder and the check digit over the whole number at the head of the optional data).
3. Issuer code — stated plainly
GRT is the Nation's own code. It is not assigned by ICAO, which assigns codes to states and certain organisations; border systems will therefore treat it as unknown until a state chooses to list it. The Nation does not use, imitate or borrow any other issuer's code.
4. Chip and PKI
Contactless chip (ISO/IEC 14443) carrying DG1 (MRZ) and DG2 (face) and a Security Object signed by a Document Signer whose certificate chains to the Nation's Country Signing CA. CSCA certificate: https://mohawkuniversity.org/Register/mngr-csca.pem (SHA-256 fingerprint 51be126af39e2c7cf2d8ffe6156d60b7…). Certificate policy: the CSCA key is generated and held offline on the Nation's master drive, used only to sign Document Signer certificates; Document Signers are rotated every three years; revocation is published on this page; every issue is recorded on the Register with its booklet number and chip-file hash.
5. Physical security (bureau)
Guilloche and rainbow printing; UV fluorescent inks; intaglio on the cover and endpapers; a multi-coloured security binding thread, fluorescent under UV, sewn through the fold — of multi-ply polyamide (nylon), twisted under tension and lock-stitched, so that it cannot be unpicked and sewn again unseen, with a dark colour among its plies; security fibres in the page paper, coordinated in visible and UV colour with the binding thread and the paper security thread, so that one UV lamp verifies all three; a windowed security thread woven across the paper of the official observations page, with microtext; an optically variable device carrying the Circle Wampum over the photo; laser-perforated passport number; ghost image; micro-text.
Each feature is checked at one of three levels: by eye (the binding thread, the security thread, the optically variable device); with a UV lamp (the fluorescent inks, the thread's and the fibres' glow); or forensically, by the printer or a laboratory (any taggant).
For consideration in the choice of thread and fibres: Keesing Platform, Selecting the appropriate passport security stitching thread; Security Fibres, Security Fibres for Passports; Liberty Security Threads, Security threads; Security Printing Consulting, Security passport sewing threads.
6. Issuance controls
Only to a resident on the Register, after attestation; a holder briefing signed at issue; the Recognition Register kept from holders' reports; loss and revocation answered on verification.
7. What it is not
It is not a document of Canada, the United Kingdom or the United States, and does not resemble one.
