  "title": "Austria Application for a Passport or Identity Card (Antrag auf Ausstellung eines österreichischen Reisepasses oder Personalausweises)",
  "description": "Austria's bilingual German/English combined application for an Austrian passport (regular, additional, or emergency) and/or a national identity card (Personalausweis), used principally through Austrian embassies and consulates abroad. Modelled from the current 2-page fillable-AcroForm PDF specimen hosted in BMEIA's own central 'Allgemein/Formulare' (General Forms) library. Domestically, and at most missions, applicants — including infants — must be personally present when applying (fingerprints are captured live for a passport). This document deliberately does not model: the mission-specific appointment-booking step; the staff-only 'Vorgelegte Nachweise' (evidence presented) checklist and consular-fee tariff table on page 2, both explicitly marked 'Vom Antragsteller nicht auszufüllen' (not to be filled out by the applicant) and carrying no AcroForm widgets of their own; and the separate, dedicated single-page 'Antrag auf Ausstellung eines Personalausweises' form used domestically and by some other missions for identity-card-only applications (already modelled as this registry's at/bmi/national-identity-card-application). GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Republic of Austria, the Bundesministerium für europäische und internationale Angelegenheiten, or any Austrian embassy or consulate.",

    "notes": "Authored from a fresh curl fetch of the genuine fillable-AcroForm PDF directly from bmeia.gv.at (HTTP 200, application/pdf, 292,446 bytes, SHA-256 a54c77ef3bae9ace86a40bf8dcdfb8887c871eec64cbd16ce50d14bd541dcf56), re-confirmed live a second time before finalizing this record. All 42 AcroForm widgets across the PDF's 2 pages were extracted and enumerated with pdfjs-dist's getAnnotations()/getFieldObjects()/getTextContent(); getFieldObjects() confirms all 42 are distinct, independently-named fields with no shared field names anywhere in the document, and every Btn widget reports radioButton:false — unlike this registry's sibling at/bmi/national-identity-card-application (which has 2 genuine PDF radio-button groups), this specimen contains zero true radio groups. Every multi-option selector on the form (document type; applicant-vs-named-child; gender; existing-passport status; lost-vs-stolen; the 7-option legal-representation basis) is therefore modelled as independent optional boolean fields, with GSP-0013 exclusivityGroups declared wherever real-world mutual exclusivity is evident even though the PDF itself does not enforce it structurally — except the document-type selector (Notpass/weiterer Reisepass/Personalausweis), which is left ungrouped since an applicant may legitimately request more than one document type on a single filing. All 42 widgets map onto 42 fields with zero merges and zero exclusions (unlike prior AT cycles, this specimen's authoring included no stray, duplicate-heading, or footer-reference widgets to exclude). See VERIFICATION.md for the full sourcing record, the position-based methodology used to attribute the PDF's several generically-named 'TextN' widgets to their nearest printed label, and the mock conformance test run."
