Method. Every passport MRZ carries ICAO-9303 check digits (weights 7·3·1). We transcribed the MRZ lines from our own scans at high resolution and validated all five check digits per passport — then independently re-computed them. The verdicts below are arithmetic, not judgment.
| Person | Passport | Verdict | NID (from Personal-No field) | New facts recovered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mohammad Ali | A03347925 ✓ and BP0655872 ✓ | All check digits pass on both | 8821107102132 — the "missing" NID, recovered without asking anyone | Earlier passport AD4508460 surfaced |
| Md Arif Ul Islam | B00117678 ✓ | A "…678" number needs check digit 5 (shown); "…878" would need 9 → the B00117878 record was a mis-read of the SAME passport | 2691650150676 | Previous passport EA0426358; duplicate uploads identified |
| Moula | A02208655 ✓ ("AO2208655" = OCR O-for-0) | DOB 09 Nov 1984 validated by check digit — the "1982" was a mis-read | 8821108105926 confirmed | Both captures proven to be the same spread |
| Rezwana | B00046077 ✓ | Extra-digit variants (B000460077 / B000460677) disproven | 2695435978798 confirmed | MRZ name order: surname FATEMA, given REZWANA |
Closed by this report: 4 open anomalies — Ali's NID, Arif's passport number, Moula's passport DOB, Rezwana's number variants — resolved from documents we already hold.
One nuance for the council: Moula's validated passport DOB (09 Nov 1984) makes the 3rd son younger on paper than the 4th (Mustafa, May 1983) — a common paper-DOB artifact. Recommendation: align all records to 1984 unless the family chooses a formal correction (heavier process).
The short collection list that remains: Labiba's passport scan + NID · Nuvid's passport scan + DOB · physical NID card copies (incl. Ali's — number now known) · nikahnama (marriage certificates) + birth certificates for the trust file.
