Here's a tidied up version of the Python code to generate the MRZ from the passport data. It also corrects a padding error.

My Dutch driver's licence has a single MRZ-like line across the bottom. It seems to encode the country and licence number but I can't make any sense of the rest of the line. Anyone have any leads?
