Within the constraints imposed by national systems for entry of data, proper names (forenames and surnames) shall be entered into SIS II in a format (script and spelling) as close as possible to the format used on official identity documents. Member States shall use, as a general rule, Latin characters for entering data into SIS II, without prejudice to transliteration and transcription rules laid down in Annex 1.
