Division 2.11.3 Further information to establish a person’s identity

The SIRENE Bureau of the issuing Member State may also, if the data in the SIS II is insufficient, provide further information after consultation, on its own initiative or at the request of another Member State, to help establish a person’s identity. The L Form shall be used for this purpose. This information shall, in particular, cover the following:

• the origin of the passport or identity document in the possession of the person sought,

• the passport or identity document’s reference number, issuing date, place and authority as well as the expiry date,

• description of the person sought,

• surname and forename of the wanted person's mother and father,

• last known address.

As far as possible, this information shall be available in the SIRENE Bureaux, or immediately and permanently accessible to them for speedy transmission.

The common objective shall be to minimise the risk of wrongly stopping a person whose identity details are similar to those of the person on whom an alert has been issued.
