Sagem Securite to produce biometric passports for Albania

Wednesday, March 26, 2008 in News

The Albanian government has chosen French company Sagem Securite to produce new biometric passports and identity cards for Albania. Paris-based Sagem Securite will start producing them within the next six months. The company was chosen from among seven companies bidding in an international tender. No new ID cards have been produced for Albanians since the fall of communism in 1990 because of problems with the country’s civil registry. [end]
