Frequently asked

Where does the spec data come from?

Each spec is sourced from the issuing authority's own documentation (e.g. travel.state.gov for US, gov.uk for UK, EU Council directives for Schengen). Each row shows the source URL and the date we last verified the rule against the live page.

How often is the data refreshed?

Every spec is re-verified at least once per quarter. The "last verified" date is shown next to each row so you can judge freshness at a glance. We re-verify out-of-cycle when a national authority announces a rule change.

Can I export the comparison?

Yes — copy as Markdown, CSV, or share a permanent link that encodes your selection in the URL. Useful for travel-agency briefs and consular forms.
