It will be. Therefore, it has been an issue in each country to make it possible to quickly and easily reissue a passport, but it is difficult for the conventional passport issuance method to respond promptly.

When data is printed directly on a thread-bound virgin passport, it is difficult to record the data in the area along the thread-bound central fold line Y of the data sheet, and the data sheet. There is also a problem in that the entire passport must be discarded if a printing error occurs on the paper.

[0005]

Therefore, according to the present invention, personal data is recorded on a passport data sheet which appropriately solves the above problems and enables prompt and easy issuance of passports including reissuance. It provides a method.
