MRN (movement reference number)

The information is given alphanumerically with 18 digits on the following specimen:

Fields 1 and 2 as explained above.

Field 3 has to be filled in with an identifier for the transit transaction. The way that field is used is under the responsibility of national administrations but each transit transaction handled during one year within the given country must have a unique number. National administrations that want to have the office reference number of the competent authorities included in the MRN, could use up to the first 6 characters to insert the national number of the office.

Field 4 has to be filled with a value that is a check digit for the whole MRN. This field allows for detection of an error when capturing the whole MRN.

[F4The ‘ MRN ’ shall also be printed in bar code mode using the standard ‘ code 128 ’ , character set ‘ B ’ .]
