Security document having a perforation window, and method for the production thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a security document, a method for verifying a security document, and a security document, which comprises: a document body (2) having a front side (11) and an opposite back side (12), wherein the document body (2) is produced using at least one planar, self-supporting opaque layer (5), which is integrated into the document body (2) between the front side (11) and the back side (12), and wherein at least one optically verifiable security feature (13, 14, 15) is formed in the document body (2), which security feature has different optical effects with regard to an observation through the front side (11) and an observation through the back side (12), wherein a plurality of through-holes (30) are formed in the opaque layer (5) and arranged in such a way that the at least one optically verifiable security feature (13, 14, 15) can be optically detected both in an observation through the front side (11) and in an observation through the back side (12), wherein one of the two observations is a through-view observation (35, 36) that occurs through the through-holes in the opaque layer, and the other is a direct observation (25, 26) that does not occur through the through-holes, and the at least one optically verifiable security feature (13, 14, 15) is designed in such a way that different optical effects can be detected in the direct observation (25, 26) and in the through-view observation (35, 36), the difference of said optical effects not being caused by the presence of the opaque layer (5) and / or the through-holes (30).

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a security document and a method for its manufacture, in particular to a security document having at least one security feature which is optically verifiable and which has different optical effects depending on the viewing side of the security document. Background technique

[0002] Various security documents are known from the prior art. All objects comprising at least one security feature which makes forgery, imitation, unauthorized copying etc. difficult or preferably impossible are referred to as the security document.

[0003] Security documents include, for example, ID documents (Identification: identification), travel passports, personal certificates, ID cards, driver's licenses, driving licenses, vehicle factory licenses, access cards, company certificates, access cards (Zutrittskarten), bank cards, credit cards, Visa also includes anti-counterfeit tags, access cards, banknotes, stamps, securities, and the like. Such ...

Embodiment Construction

[0058] exist figure 1 The security document 1 is schematically shown in perspective in . The security document comprises a document body 2 which is produced from a plurality of original self-supporting layers, in particular based on plastic, which are stacked on top of each other and composited with each other. From its front side 11 to its rear side 12 , the document body 2 is composed of a transparent layer 3 , a layer 4 provided for laser marking, a flat opaque layer 5 and a further transparent layer 6 . It will be understood by those skilled in the art that security documents may be manufactured from different numbers of original self-supporting layers. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the layers 3 to 6 are identical with regard to their two-dimensional extension. Other embodiments can be implemented differently in terms of development.

[0059] Preferably, the layers are all based on the same plastic material, for example all made of polycarbonate material. This has...
