  "title": "Austria National Identity Card Application (Personalausweis)",
  "description": "Austria's application for issuance of a national identity card (Personalausweis), 'Antrag auf Ausstellung eines Personalausweises' — a valid photo-ID document usable as an EU/Schengen-area travel document and as domestic proof of identity and Austrian citizenship. This document is modelled from the current single-page fillable-AcroForm PDF specimen ('persausw.pdf'), obtained directly from oesterreich.gv.at's own federal content-delivery host and byte-identical to the copy hosted by the Bundesministerium für europäische und internationale Angelegenheiten (BMEIA) in its central forms library and linked by name ('Application Form Identity Card (Personalausweis)') from a live Austrian embassy citizen-services page. Domestically, the application must be made in person at the competent Passbehörde (the Bezirkshauptmannschaft, a Land capital's Magistrat, or — in Vienna — a Magistratisches Bezirksamt); for Austrian citizens resident abroad, the same form is submitted through an Austrian embassy or consulate. Deliberately excludes: the domestic-only appointment-booking step and the specific list of which supporting original documents are required in each of the source's four alternative identity-proof scenarios (old ID present / passport present / other official photo ID present / no document present, requiring an identity witness) — captured here only as free-text reference fields per the form's own layout, not as separate structured document requirements, since the form itself asks for descriptive reference details (issuing authority, number, date) rather than a simple presence flag; and the separate, distinct 'Antrag auf Ausstellung eines österreichischen Reisepasses oder Personalausweises' consular form used by some individual Austrian missions abroad, which bundles passport and identity-card issuance into one bilingual document with a different field layout (a related, open companion-schema candidate for a future cycle — see VERIFICATION.md). GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Republic of Austria, the Bundesministerium für Inneres, the Bundesministerium für europäische und internationale Angelegenheiten, or any Austrian Passbehörde.",

    "notes": "Authored from a fresh curl fetch of the genuine fillable-AcroForm PDF directly from oesterreich.gv.at (HTTP 200, application/pdf, 2,036,464 bytes), independently re-fetched a second time from bmeia.gv.at's central 'Allgemein/Formulare' library and confirmed SHA-256-identical to the oesterreich.gv.at copy. All 34 AcroForm widgets on the PDF's single page were extracted and enumerated with pdfjs-dist's getAnnotations()/getTextContent(); 7 are non-data controls (two duplicate heading-label text widgets whose own default value equals their printed heading text; one near-zero-area stray text widget with no adjacent label of its own; two further stray, unlabeled text widgets overlapping other content's label/box boundaries; and two footer widgets carrying only the form's internal reference code and page-count stamp) excluded from the field model. The remaining 27 data widgets map onto this document's 23 fields: one genuine 2-option radio-button group (gender) and one genuine 4-option radio-button group (legal-representation basis) — both implemented as true shared-name PDF radio fields, confirmed via getAnnotations()'s radioButton:true flag, unlike a prior AT cycle's independent (non-grouped) checkboxes — were each merged into a single enum field rather than modelled as independent unconstrained booleans, for a total of 4 widgets folded into 2 fields (27 - 4 = 23). Two other, distinct PDF specimens found this session for the same general topic were screened and set aside: a bilingual German/English 42-widget combined passport-or-identity-card form used by some individual Austrian missions abroad (structurally sound but a materially different, less-current-looking specimen with independent, non-grouped checkboxes for its own document-type selector), and a trilingual German/English/Hebrew 74-widget consular variant specific to one mission with a stray, apparently miscopied Hebrew caption — see VERIFICATION.md for the full comparison and why the dedicated, oesterreich.gv.at-hosted Personalausweis-only specimen was preferred."
