3.9 Recommended Practice.— Contracting States should incorporate biometric data in their machine readable
passports, visas and other official travel documents, using one or more optional data storage technologies to supplement the
machine readable zone, as specified in Doc 9303, Machine Readable Travel Documents. The required data stored on the
integrated circuit chip is the same as that printed on the data page, that is, the data contained in the machine-readable zone
plus the digitized photographic image.
Fingerprint image(s) and/or iris image(s) are optional biometrics for Contracting
States wishing to supplement the facial image with another biometric in the passport. Contracting States incorporating
biometric data in their Machine Readable Passports are to store the data in a contactless integrated circuit chip complying
with ISO/IEC 14443 and programmed according to the Logical Data Structure as specified by ICAO. Recommended Practice.— Contracting States
(a) issuing or intending to issue ePassports; and/or
