similar identity data

Identity data are considered similar if the values in corresponding data fields between different EU information systems are considered almost identical, subject to the rules described in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/332 and 2023/333. E.g. last name: 'Smith' corresponding with last name: 'Smieth'.

In contrast: 

An example of different identity data would be: last name: 'Smith' corresponding with last name: 'Johnsson'.

An example of same identity data would be: last name: 'Smith' corresponding with last name: 'Smith'.
