The results of the tender for Armenia’s biometric passport and eID are set to be announced by the end of the month.
According to local media, a total of eight international organisations have bid for the tender to produce the documents.
Citizens will be able to receive their new documents from September 2011. The passports will contain the holder’s full name, date and place of birth, photograph and fingerprints. The eID cards will hold an electronic signature instead of fingerprints.
The new ID cards will be compulsory for those aged over 16. Citizens will be able to upgrade to the new ePassports as their old passport documents expire.
