There is described a process for embossing onto a document machine-readable information in the form of optical markings with a light-modifying relief structure for indicating the genuineness of the document, comprising transferring a thermoplastic layer to the document from an embossing foil by means of a hot embossing die, and simultaneously embossing the optical markings in at least the thermoplastic layer. Also described are embossed documents produced by the disclosed process. |
