The Council of the European Union recently published a database containing documents of EU Member States on their website.

The Public Register of Authentic Identity and Travel Documents Online (PRADO) is a multilingual website for the dissemination of public information on security elements of authentic identity and travel documents online.

PRADO (http://www.consilium.europa.eu/prado/)

All information in this Register were collected and contributed by the EU Member States, Iceland and Norway. The Register is intended for the broader public and governmental and non-governmental organisations (employers, post offices, banks, credit institutions, security and protection services, vehicle rental agencies, etc.).

The texts in the documents are predominantly standardised descriptions which are automatically translated. PRADO is hosted by the Directorate-General for Justice and Home Affairs within the scope of the General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union.
