Mock mode simulation
Before the registry launches (July 2026), EU Digital Passport Processor simulates the full lifecycle:
- 0–30 seconds after submission: status shows Submitted
- 30–90 seconds: status shows Validating with a spinner
- After 90 seconds: status shows Registered and a mock ID is assigned (e.g. EU-DPP-2026-XXXXXXXX)
This lets you test and understand the complete submission flow before the live registry exists.

DUPLICATE_IDENTIFIER: Your passport number is already registered by another operator. Use a unique passport number.
OPERATOR_NOT_REGISTERED: Your Operator ID is not recognised by the registry. Check the ID in Settings.
SCHEMA_MISMATCH: The passport was built against an outdated Annex XIII schema. EU Digital Passport Processor will notify you when a schema update is available.
