Otherwise, you could readily create your own fake digital passport - and way easier than a paper passport as you do not have to take care of all those fine wiggly lines and holograms.

Dec 30, 2021 at 8:09 comment added phoog Doesn't the standard specify that the chip must contain a digital copy of the same photograph shown on the identification page? Certainly all of the passports I've ever checked contain this. Furthermore, the use of a key comprising data from the MRZ to control access to the RFID chip is also part of the specification, so "usually" is a bit misleading.
