According to him, the price of biometric ID card will not exceed 250 soms. “The world practice shows that the cost of a biometric passport reaches €70-80. But we have rather low cost. A 128 kilobytes chip will contain data on iris, fingerprint pattern, electronic signature and a photo. We have inserted larger memory content, because it will be unreasonably to increase it afterwards,” Erlan Saparbayev explained.
He added that feasibility study says that the company, which won a tender fully transfers equipment to the ownership of Kyrgyzstan. “Besides, intellectual property on passports’ design belongs to us too. We demand the investor to operate according to our legislation,” the SRS Chairman noted.
Recall, Kyrgyzstan plans to switch to biometric passports from 2014.
