Biometric passport Kyiv

To get a foreign passport in Kyiv you don’t need to spend a lot of time. With the help of intermediaries - specialists, the finished document will be on hand in an extremely short time. Starting this summer, a foreign passport provides the right to enter the countries of the Schengen zone without a visa. At the same time, an updated passport will cost almost the same price as a regular one. As before, at the discretion of the applicant, you can make an international passport in a regular format or order biometrics. The document has a 10-year validity period.

A biometric passport has a number of advantages over a regular one, but the main one is faster border control. This is due to the fact that there is no need to enter document information into a single database. All information about a citizen is read automatically thanks to the built-in biometric chip. Most countries equip airports with special control areas for citizens with biometric documents.

In general, a biometric passport differs from an old-style document in that a microchip is built into its cover. It is a duplicate of all entered information about its owner. The chip also contains biometric information about the citizen: his fingerprints, retinal parameters, etc.
