A method for producing an authenticity information item of a security element, which serves for checking the correct combination of carrier parts. The security element comprises at least one first partial element having a first partial information item and a second partial element having a second partial information item. The two partial elements are movable into a check position, in which the two partial elements overlay one another. The information items in the check position represent the information item. In an alignment step, the two partial elements are provided with at least one processing means, with which waves the first partial information item and the second partial information item are produced. One of the two partial elements is processed with the waves directly, and the other of the two partial elements is processed through the one partial element.

Method for processing a security element

The invention relates to a security element () with authentication information () for checking the correct combination of two support parts (), characterized in that the security element () comprises at least one first partial element () comprising first partial information () and a second partial element () comprising second partial information (). The first partial element () can be associated with a first support part () and the second partial element () can be associated with a second support part (), both partial elements () can be moved from a starting position into a checking position in which both partial elements () overlap. The first partial information () and the second partial information () represent the authentication information () when in the checking position.
