New biometric passports planned to be implemented in Andorra by the end of January 2017

The Andorran Government approved amendments to the regulations of the use of new security features of the passport of Andorran citizens. In particular, the amendments concern the implementation of the international security system SAC (Supplemental Access Control), which implies a fingerprint scan of the passport holder.

The main page of the new passports with personal data and photo will also change and will include two additional safety elements – for visual control and monitoring with a special reading device.

Paper quality will be improved, which will allow better to save the document for 10 years. Look for details: http://all-andorra.com/biometric-passport/
