At its session of Wednesday 24 February 2021, the Council of Ministers authorised the selection of service providers for the implementation of the ePassport project.
The project will consist of setting up a system to modernise the services responsible for issuing these travel documents, in particular with regard to managing the personalisation process for ordinary biometric passports and providing services to users.
It is therefore essential, on the one hand, to acquire personalisation equipment and, on the other, to fully digitalise the process of handling applications, tracking them and issuing passports.
The benefits of implementing such a project are:
- Making the passport application and issuance process easier for citizens living in the country or abroad;
- Providing quality services with optimal customer satisfaction;
- Ensuring better management of the stock of passport booklets;
- Improving the security of the travel documents produced, through control of the processes and the introduction of appropriate checks;
- Producing travel documents that comply with the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
