The ID card that the General Directorate of Civil Status issues depends on essential standards : technology of electronic transfer of the holder’s fingerprint and storing it on the electronic chip fitted on the card. This electronic chip consists of a micro-computer capable of processing data and storing it. It contains the holder’s photo and his/her fingerprint. It has been introduced by the General Directorate of Civil Status – ROP, to keep abreast of the widely used Information Technology in the developed countries, for its simple use and numerous advantages.
