The ID card represent a plastic card, which includes complete information about its owner and can be used in all spheres of public life.
As for the biological passports, they will resemble the current passports, but will be necessary only for leaving abroad. Besides biological data, they will include the fingerprints of the owner.
Having such passports was not the wish of the Armenian Government. It was the requirement of international structures. Having a biological passport is an expensive pleasure and all citizens will not be required to have the document unless they intend to leave abroad.
The ID Cards will not be compulsory, either, until the date of expiration of the current passports.
