Abstract: A method for producing an authenticity information item of a security element, which serves for checking the correct combination of carrier parts. The security element comprises at least one first partial element having a first partial information item and a second partial element having a second partial information item. The two partial elements are movable into a check position, in which the two partial elements overlay one another. The information items in the check position represent the information item. In an alignment step, the two partial elements are provided with at least one processing means, with which waves the first partial information item and the second partial information item are produced. One of the two partial elements is processed with the waves directly, and the other of the two partial elements is processed through the one partial element.

Abstract: A flexible band configured to be connected to a data page and to a booklet, wherein the flexible band extends along a main direction and includes an upper side and a lower side as well as a plurality of apertures, wherein the flexible band includes at least one security element, wherein the security element is provided by at least one security print pattern; or the security element is provided by at least one security thread; or the security element is provided by at least one security print pattern in combination with at least one security thread.

Abstract: The invention relates to a security element (1) with authentication information (2) for checking the correct combination of two support parts (3, 4, 5), characterized in that the security element (1) comprises at least one first partial element (6) comprising first partial information (7) and a second partial element (8) comprising second partial information (9). The first partial element (6) can be associated with a first support part (3) and the second partial element (8) can be associated with a second support part (4), both partial elements (6, 8) can be moved from a starting position into a checking position in which both partial elements (6, 8) overlap. The first partial information (7) and the second partial information (9) represent the authentication information (2) when in the checking position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a multilayer data carrier comprising a first layer which is made of plastic and has an upper face on which an opaque layer partially covering said upper face, for example a metal layer, is arranged. The data carrier has a second layer made of plastic which is disposed on the first layer and is transparent at least in a sub-region of the metal layer. The metal layer is partially removed by a laser to such an extent that the metal layer has at least one break. The metal layer is preferably laminated between the first and the second plastic layers.
