  "description": "Identità's (Malta's national Agency for identity documents, passports, visas, expatriates and the Public Registry) \"Form A — Application for a Maltese Passport\", filed in person at the Passport Office by a Maltese citizen (or their parent/tutor, for a minor applicant) applying for a first Maltese passport, renewing an expiring one, or replacing a lost/stolen/damaged one. Opens Malta's Passport vertical (2/6 — Business Formation already published via mt/jobsplus/self-employed-declaration-of-commencement). This document models the applicant's own personal/identity/contact particulars (Section 1); the applicant's parents' and grandparents' particulars (Section 2, always required regardless of application track); the spouse/civil-union/legal-cohabitation partner's particulars and their own parents'/grandparents' particulars (Sections 3 and 3a, gated on marital status and prior-passport history per the form's own note); the citizenship-acquisition particulars for an applicant who became a Maltese citizen other than by birth (Section 4); the previous-passport particulars for an applicant who already holds one (Section 5); the parent's/tutor's consent and the recommender's presence-confirmation for a minor applicant (Section 6); the recommender's own declaration (Section 7); an optional Seeing AI opt-in (Section 8); and the applicant's own declaration (Section 9, not signed by minors). It excludes the form's own bilingual (Maltese/English) Privacy Policy pages (pages 6-7, informational only, no applicant input) and the page-8 \"FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY\" block (front-office/back-office receipt numbers, officer signatures and stamps, biometric-capturing/database/validation sign-offs), none of which are applicant-supplied data. Filing this application is a citizen action performed in person with the Passport Office; this schema does not file the application itself, and the live source is always authoritative. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Malta or Identità.",

    "notes": "GOV-4217 (\"GovSchema Standard Research\", parent GOV-4215). Deepens Malta past its first published schema (mt/jobsplus/self-employed-declaration-of-commencement, GOV-4172, Business Formation), opening the Passport vertical (2 of 6) via Identità's own Form A, sourced unauthenticated directly at `identita.gov.mt/form-a/` (a 301 redirect to the underlying `wp-content/uploads` asset). Fetched directly with a realistic desktop Chrome User-Agent: HTTP 200, `Content-Type: application/pdf`, 621,516 bytes (byte-identical to the count in this issue's own scouting description), sha256 `61f2a8860f0cfaa3d5a0f4c096b8549fa2b837e90b4fdb565e3fb70e2cabeb5d`, no login/CAPTCHA/Cloudflare gate on the asset itself. Confirmed mechanically: the retrieved bytes begin `%PDF-1.4` and contain **zero** `/AcroForm`/`/Widget` occurrences (a flat, print-and-fill specimen), with exactly 8 `/Type/Page` objects (excluding the 1 `/Type/Pages` tree root), matching the issue's own '8-page' description.\n\nThis PDF's own text-showing operators use a custom glyph-index font encoding (a `zlib`-stream/paren-regex read of the raw content streams renders as garbled glyph runs, e.g. `8931! 112!!355!'+1`, not readable text) — the same class of obstacle this registry's own Cyprus EE1/CY EE1-track scouting has previously flagged for glyph-encoded forms. Rather than falling back to a rendered-page-image visual read, this cycle used `pdfjs-dist` (already vendored at `/tmp/node_modules/pdfjs-dist` from prior cycles) to run this PDF's own embedded `ToUnicode` CMaps (present for every one of its 6 Type0/Identity-H font resources) through its real text-layer extraction path, recovering clean, position-tagged Unicode text for every one of the 8 pages directly from the PDF's own glyph-to-Unicode mapping — not an OCR guess or an intermediate summarizer's paraphrase.\n\nModels 80 `fields[]` across 10 steps mirroring the form's own numbered sections (01 Applicant's Details; 02 Parents' Details; 03 Details of Spouse/Partner in Marriage/Civil Union/Legal Cohabitation; 03a Details of Parents of Spouse/Partner; 04 Details of Citizenship; 05 Previous Passport; 06 Parent's/Tutor's Consent; 07 Declaration of Recommender; 08 Seeing AI on Passport; 09 Declaration by the Applicant), plus 8 `documents[]` entries (4 physical/attachment documents, 4 attestation statements quoting the form's own declaration text).\n\nSeven disclosed source-fidelity findings: (1) This form's own asterisk usage does not mark required fields (unlike this registry's other bilingual Identità-family form, `mt/jobsplus/self-employed-declaration-of-commencement`, where an asterisk does mean mandatory) — the only two field-level asterisks (`Sex*`/`Marital status*`) sit beside a footnote reading 'Tick the box as necessary' ('Immarka skont kif meħtieġ'), i.e. the asterisk here flags a checkbox-style field, not a required one; a third asterisk beside 'Signature*' in Section 9 carries its own distinct footnote ('*Applicants under 18 years of age need not sign this declaration'). Since Section 01 therefore carries no printed required/optional signal for any of its fields, `surname`/`name`/`sex`/`dateOfBirth`/`identityCardNumber`/`placeOfBirth`/`countryOfBirth`/`maritalStatus`/`address`/`cityTown`/`postalCode` are modelled `required: true` as the core demographic/identity particulars necessary to process any passport application, while `email`/`telephoneNumber`/`mobileNumber` are modelled `required: false` as convenience contact fields, absent any printed distinguishing signal either way. (2) Section 02 ('Parents' Details') carries no conditional note anywhere (unlike Sections 3/4/5/6, each of which opens with an explicit 'to be completed only if...' instruction) and Identità's own per-track service pages ('Adults First-Time', 'Adults Renewals', and the 'Minors 6 to 9 years' track) each list 'Form A with sections 1, 2, ...' among their required sections regardless of track — so every field in Section 02, including the applicant's two grandparents' name/surname/country-of-birth, is modelled `required: true` unconditionally, the same 'whole-section-required, no printed within-section distinction' treatment this registry's `cy/crmd/passport-application` gave its own Sections II/III. (3) Section 03's own note ('This part must be filled in only by those who are married, in a civil union, in a legal cohabitation, widowed or separated and who are applying for the first time, or by those who changed their name/surname since the issue of the last passport held. However, if you already had a passport issued after 01.01.1998 and your personal details remained unchanged, go to Section 5.') expresses a compound eligibility condition (marital-status category AND (first application OR a name/surname change) AND NOT (already holds an unchanged post-01.01.1998 passport)) that GSP-0013's `requiredWhen` grammar has no single primitive to express — modelled as a directly-supplied boolean gate, `spouseSectionApplies`, not itself a printed checkbox (the same convention `cy/crmd/passport-application` established for its own `applicantIsMinor`), with the full compound condition disclosed here rather than partially encoded against only `maritalStatus`. Section 03a ('Details of Parents of Spouse/Partner') is gated on the same `spouseSectionApplies`, since it is structurally the continuation of the same party's details the Section 03 note scopes. (4) Section 04's own note ties the whole section to becoming 'Malti/ja b'Reġistrazzjoni, Naturalizzazzjoni, b'Ċittadinanza Doppja, bi żwieġ jew b'unjoni ċivili' / 'a Maltese citizen through Registration, Naturalisation, Dual Nationality, upon marriage or civil union to a citizen of Malta' — modelled as a directly-supplied boolean gate, `citizenshipSectionApplies`, again not a printed checkbox, since no single field on the form distinguishes 'citizen by birth' from these other routes. The section's own two mutually exclusive checkbox-style declarations ('I am also a citizen of (state country)' with a blank line; 'I am not a citizen of any other country', no blank line) are modelled as `dualCitizenshipStatus` (enum) plus a dependent `otherCitizenshipCountry`, the same enum-plus-dependent-text-field convention `mt/jobsplus/self-employed-declaration-of-commencement` used for its own `applicantNationalityCategory`/`applicantNationalityCountry` pair. (5) Section 05's own note ('If you already have a passport, please submit it with this application and write down the number, date and country from where the passport was issued.') has no printed checkbox either — modelled as a directly-supplied boolean gate, `hasPreviousPassport`, the same convention as `cy/crmd/passport-application`'s own `hasOtherCyprusPassport`/`hasForeignPassport`/`hasLostCyprusPassport` fields. (6) Section 06's own printed instruction states the recommender 'must sign this part [Section 6] and section 7 only after establishing the identity of the two parents' whenever Section 6 applies — so every Section 07 field is modelled `requiredWhen applicantIsMinor equals true`, directly per this printed tie between the two sections. Identità's own 'Adults First-Time'/'Adults Renewals' service pages additionally require Section 7 from an *adult* applicant who resides abroad without a valid Maltese ID card (an alternative, recommender-endorsed-photo path) — a condition with no corresponding field anywhere on the printed form itself, so this adult-track trigger is disclosed here as informational context rather than encoded as a second `requiredWhen` path, the same 'disclose rather than fabricate an unprinted field' treatment `mt/jobsplus/self-employed-declaration-of-commencement`'s own Finding 4 (Employment Licence sub-categories) and `cy/crmd/passport-application`'s own Finding 4 (guardian-instead-of-parents alternative) each gave an analogous external-guidance-only condition. (7) The 'Grandparent's name and surname of applicant (first/second parent)' rows (Section 02) and their Section 03a counterparts print a single combined name-and-surname box per grandparent, with no separate given-name/surname split — modelled as one `...NameAndSurname` field per grandparent rather than splitting into two, since the form itself does not split it.\n\n2 valid mock scenarios (an adult, first-time applicant, single, born a Maltese citizen, with no previous passport and no spouse/civil-union details to declare; a minor applicant whose parent/tutor consent and recommender declaration are both completed, and who does not sign the Section 9 declaration per its own footnote) plus 8 mutation-control fixtures (a missing statically-required field, a missing `spouseName` while `spouseSectionApplies` is true, a missing `registrationOrNaturalizationCertificateNumber` while `citizenshipSectionApplies` is true, a missing `otherCitizenshipCountry` while `dualCitizenshipStatus` is `HAS_OTHER_CITIZENSHIP`, a missing `previousPassportNumber` while `hasPreviousPassport` is true, a missing `minorApplicantFullName` while `applicantIsMinor` is true, an invalid `sex` enum value, and an unknown top-level field) are committed under `conformance/mt/identita/passport-application/1.0.0/`. An ephemeral, from-scratch conformance checker (deriving required/requiredWhen rules directly from this schema's own `fields[]`/`documents[]`, discarded after use, not committed) ran all 10: both valid scenarios at 0 errors, all 8 mutation controls each raising exactly 1 error, and confirmed every `requiredWhen` field/document reference resolves (0 dangling references). Validated clean with `node tools/validate.mjs` and `node tools/validate-ajv.mjs`, individually and as part of the full registry run."
