Algeria will introduce new biometric passports in the 2nd quarter of 2010, the Ministry of Interior and Local Government announced on Sunday (February 21st). Since all valid Algerian passports will expire during the transition to what the ministry called "this exceptional operation of public service modernization", the filing of new cases will be conducted in two waves. The schedule will be set according to the expiration date of the existing passport. Government officials say that biometric passports will contribute to the fight against terrorism, illegal immigration and organized crime and close the security loopholes of traditional passports.
