This means that besides the registration data also the corresponding electronic signature may be read from the registration card.\nThe public key for signature verification can be retrieved by reading the corresponding issuing authority certificate from the registration card. Certificates contain the public key and the identity of the corresponding authority. The signature verification may be performed by another system than the registration card.\nThe Member States are free in retrieving the public keys and certificates for verifying the issuing authority certificate.",
