  "title": "Papua New Guinea Application for a Travel Document (ICA Form FA 81)",
  "description": "Papua New Guinea's Immigration and Citizenship Authority's (ICA) \"Application for a Travel Document\" (Form FA 81), made under the Passport Act of 1982. Covers a Standard, Official, or Diplomatic Passport, a Certificate of Identity, or an Emergency Travel Document; filed by the applicant directly, or by a lodging parent/legal guardian for a child applicant under 17. Models the applicant's own particulars, birth place and physical description, marital status and address (Sections 1–8); the parent/legal guardian consent block for an applicant under 17 (Section 9); proposed departure details (Section 10); a previously-issued PNG travel document, including lost/stolen/destroyed/damaged status and any police report (Sections 11–12); the mandatory third-party Certificate Regarding Applicant (Section 13); the applicant's own Declaration (Section 14); the interpreter/witness block for an applicant who cannot read or write English (Section 15); and the Evidence of Citizenship attachment, including parents' and grandparents' particulars and the applicant's own citizenship status (Attachment A, page 4). Opens Papua New Guinea's Passport vertical (2 of 6 verticals now open, alongside Business Formation via pg/ipa/business-name-registration); DMV, Visa, Taxes, and National ID & Civic Documents remain open, unscreened backlog for a future cycle. This document does not file the application itself; the live source is always authoritative. See VERIFICATION.md for the full sourcing record and every disclosed scoping decision, including this specimen's complete absence of any fillable signature widget anywhere across all 4 pages.

    "notes": "GOV-5812 (\"GovSchema Standard Research\"). Re-scanned CATALOG.md fresh: the Executive Summary's own most recent entries (GOV-5791, GOV-5798, GOV-5805) show Papua New Guinea opened as the registry's 101st jurisdiction via Business Formation only (pg/ipa/business-name-registration@1.0.0, 1 of 6 verticals), with the Known Gaps \"0t.\" entry explicitly banking PG's other five verticals (DMV, Visa, Passport, Taxes, National ID) plus a sibling IPA Form A-2 as open, unscreened backlog for a future cycle. This cycle screened all five: \n\n- Passport: found and authored (this document) — see below.\n- National ID: the Papua New Guinea Civil and Identity Registry's (PNGCIR) own NID/birth registration forms (pngcir.gov.pg/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Births-NID-Registration-form_new_Citizenship_Form.pdf, HTTP 200, 836,266 bytes; and .../2020/01/Form-1-Birth.pdf, HTTP 200, 475,527 bytes) are live and unauthenticated, but both are flat PDFs confirmed via pdfjs-dist to carry zero AcroForm widgets (no fillable fields at all) — weaker candidates than the Passport form's genuine 93-widget AcroForm, not authored this cycle.\n- Visa: the ICA's own \"Application to Extend Entry Permit\" (ica.gov.pg/uploads/media/post_file_2430587-visa-extension-form-new-savable.pdf, HTTP 200, 123,043 bytes, confirmed 62 widgets across 2 pages) and a first-entry \"Application for entry permit\" mirrored by the PNG-Japan Society (png.or.jp/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Application_for_entry_permit_form_new_savable.pdf, HTTP 200, 180,934 bytes, confirmed 102 widgets across 4 pages, itself watermarked \"Downloaded from www.immigration.gov.pg\") are both live, unauthenticated, and genuinely rich AcroForms — real candidates for a future cycle, but not authored this cycle since the Passport candidate (93 widgets, hosted directly on ica.gov.pg with no third-party mirror) was judged the stronger single pick and this cycle's own scope is one deliverable.\n- DMV: the Road Traffic Authority's (RTA) driver-licence Forms 1 and 2 (rta.gov.pg/pdfs/forms/Form1.pdf and Form2.pdf, both HTTP 200) are live and unauthenticated but both confirmed via pdfjs-dist to carry zero AcroForm widgets; the RTA's \"Road Traffic Rules — Licensing of Drivers 2017\" (rta.gov.pg/pdfs/licences&approvals/RTR_LicensingOfDrivers2017.pdf, HTTP 200, 1,450,313 bytes) is a 26-page regulatory document, not an application form at all, and likewise carries no widgets. No viable DMV candidate found this cycle.\n- Taxes: the Internal Revenue Commission's (IRC) own downloads page (irc.gov.pg/downloads/) returned HTTP 403 to both WebFetch and a direct fetch attempt; no direct static individual income-tax-return form URL was found by search (only a GST/Goods & Services Tax form, static.irc.gov.pg/.../G1-Goods-Services-Tax-Return.pdf, a business tax, not individual income tax). Sources otherwise point to the myIRC online portal, which this cycle could not confirm is reachable without a login. No viable Taxes candidate found this cycle.\n\nThe Passport candidate — ICA's Form FA 81, \"Application for a Travel Document\" — was the clear winner of the five: hosted directly on the Immigration and Citizenship Authority's own official domain (ica.gov.pg, no third-party mirror), no login/CAPTCHA/WAF gate, and a genuine 93-widget AcroForm across 4 pages, richer than every other PG vertical candidate found this cycle (including the Visa candidates at 62 and 102 widgets, which remain open backlog). PG's own sibling Form A-2 (overseas company registration, banked in GOV-5791 as a weaker Business Formation companion) was not re-screened this cycle since a stronger candidate (Passport) was found first among the five verticals actually in scope.\n\nIndependently re-fetched https://ica.gov.pg/uploads/media/post_file_5437896-passport-application-form-fillable-savable.pdf directly via plain curl (twice, to confirm reproducibility): HTTP 200, 327,603 bytes both times, sha256 a61da176b95c22f05cd554b36d635791bbf7e867bd1e41a12514e902a2c2cf28 both times, no login/CAPTCHA/WAF gate (served directly by Cloudflare with a permissive cache-control header; Last-Modified: Tue, 12 Mar 2019, so this is a long-standing, stable specimen, not a recent upload). Confirmed via pdfjs-dist to be a genuine native (searchable-text) PDF, 4 pages, with 93 total AcroForm Widget annotations (page 1: 0 — a pure cover/instructions page; page 2: 39; page 3: 38; page 4: 16), each cross-checked against the page's own text-layer content and, for every checkbox group and the two combo-box dropdowns, against a canvas-rendered PNG of the page to visually confirm option-to-checkbox and label-to-widget mapping (rect-position inference alone was not trusted for the 5-option documentType and 5-option previousDocumentStatus groups, or for the two Section-14 date dropdowns).\n\nDisclosed scoping decisions:\n1. **No fillable signature widget exists anywhere on this specimen.** Every \"Signed\"/\"Signature\"/\"Signature of Witness\"/\"Signature or Mark\" line across all 4 pages (Section 9's two consent rows, Section 13's certificate, Section 14's declaration, and Section 15's interpreter/witness row) was checked against the full page-3/page-2 annotation dump and confirmed to have **zero** backing AcroForm widget — only the accompanying Date field (where one exists) is a real widget. This differs from both bz/doi/passport-application (one signature widget, submitterSignature) and tt/imd/passport-application-first-adult (one signature widget) — this registry's own convention of only modelling signature capture where a genuine widget exists therefore means **no** signature field is modelled in this schema at all, not even a single one.\n2. **This entire specimen prints no required/optional signal of any kind** — no asterisk, no \"(required)\"/\"(optional)\" caption, on any of its 4 pages (confirmed by a full page-by-page text-layer read). Absent any printed signal, this schema follows the same policy the DR Congo visa schema (cd/maeci/visa-application) adopted under an identical constraint: required only the fields necessary to identify the applicant and the substance of the application (document type, full name, sex, date of birth, birth province/country, occupation, marital status, residential address, the mandatory Section 13 certificate and Section 14 declaration fields), and bare-optional for physical-description minutiae, secondary addresses, travel-logistics detail, and every conditional block (parental consent, previous-travel-document history, interpreter/witness), which are instead gated by requiredWhen wherever the form's own prose states a real conditional relationship.\n3. **Two directly-supplied boolean gates** (applicantUnder17, applicantCannotReadWriteEnglish) were added to model conditions the form states in prose (Instruction 8; Section 15's own header) without a printed checkbox of their own — mirroring this registry's own hasSponsor/hasHostInMalta convention (cd/maeci/visa-application; mt/identita/long-stay-visa-application). Neither is invented eligibility logic: both conditions are stated outright on the form itself, just without a backing widget.\n4. **otherParentFullName (Section 9's second consent block) is left bare-optional**, not gated on applicantUnder17, since the form provides two parent/guardian consent blocks but neither Instruction 8 nor Section 9's own header states unambiguously that both must always be completed (a sole-custodial or sole-surviving parent could not otherwise satisfy a hard requiredWhen gate here) — consistent with this registry's standing lesson never to gate requiredness on an otherwise-optional trigger absent an explicit either/or signal.\n5. **Several internal PDF field names are generic auto-numbered artifacts** (\"Text10\", \"Text13\" through \"Text39\", \"Date_2\" through \"Date_7\", \"Full name_2\", \"Occupation_2\"/\"Occupation_3\", \"Address_2\", \"Telephone number_2\"), disambiguated throughout by rect position and cross-checked against the canvas-rendered page images, not by internal name.\n6. **Two page-4 fields are printed as single combined boxes**, not separate ones: \"Full name and date of birth of mother\" and \"Place of birth and Citizenship of mother\" (and the equivalent father fields) are each backed by exactly one AcroForm widget, modelled as one combined field each (motherFullNameAndDateOfBirth, motherPlaceOfBirthAndCitizenship, and the father equivalents), not decomposed into name/date-of-birth or place/citizenship sub-fields the source itself does not separate.\n7. **Attachment A's own two \"Are you a citizen...\" questions are printed with a grammatical typo** (\"Are you are citizen of Papua New Guinea?\" / \"Are you are citizen of foreign country?\") — quoted verbatim (sic) in sourceRef rather than silently corrected.\n8. **Five independent AcroForm checkboxes model documentType and five model previousDocumentStatus** — neither is a single PDF radio-button field (each checkbox is its own independent Btn widget with generic exportValue \"Yes\"), so both are modelled as mutually-exclusive enums rather than as five separate boolean fields, consistent with this registry's established convention for this checkbox-group pattern.\n9. **One crossFieldValidation rule** (travelDocumentExpiryNotBeforeIssue) checks the previous travel document's own expiry date is not before its issue date — a genuine structural date-sanity rule, not invented eligibility logic, mirroring bz/doi/passport-application's own reportDateNotBeforeDateOfLoss rule.\n\nModels 79 fields[] across 8 steps (2 of the 79 are directly-supplied gates without a backing widget; the other 77 collapse this specimen's 93 total AcroForm widgets, since 16 widgets across 5 checkbox/dropdown groups — documentType [5→1], sex [2→1], hasChangedName [2→1], maritalStatus [2→1], previouslyIssuedTravelDocument [2→1], previousDocumentStatus [5→1], lossReportedToPolice [2→1], livedAllLifeInPNG [2→1], isCitizenOfPNG [2→1], isCitizenOfForeignCountry [2→1] — each collapse into one enum/boolean field), 7 documents[] entries (fee payment, photographs, evidence of citizenship, the conditional previous travel document, and three attestations: the Section 13 certificate, the Section 14 declaration, and the conditional Section 9 parental consent), and 1 crossFieldValidation rule.\n\n3 valid mock scenarios (a minimal adult applicant with no previous travel document and full English literacy; an under-17 applicant with both parental consent blocks and a lost-previous-passport branch fully populated, including the police-report sub-branch; an applicant who cannot read or write English exercising the full interpreter/witness block) plus 13 mutation-control fixtures (7 missing-required fixtures covering each step carrying a statically-required field; 3 missing-requiredWhen fixtures, one per conditional branch; an invalid-enum-value fixture; an unknown-field-rejected fixture; and a crossFieldValidation-violation fixture with the previous travel document's expiry date set before its issue date) committed under conformance/pg/ica/passport-application/1.0.0/. An ephemeral, from-scratch conformance checker (deriving required/requiredWhen/crossFieldValidation rules directly from this schema's own fields[], discarded after use, not committed) ran all 16 fixtures: all 3 valid scenarios at 0 errors, all 13 mutation controls each raising exactly 1 error. Validated clean with node tools/validate.mjs and node tools/validate-ajv.mjs, individually and as part of the full registry run.\n\nOpens Papua New Guinea's Passport vertical (2 of 6). DMV and Taxes remain confirmed dead ends this cycle (no viable static-form candidate found); Visa has two live, unauthenticated, genuinely rich AcroForm candidates (62 and 102 widgets) banked as unauthored backlog for a future cycle; National ID has two live but flat (zero-widget) candidates, weaker than a genuine AcroForm; PG's own sibling Form A-2 was not re-screened this cycle."
