Armenia has launched the issuance of biometric passports and electronic identity (eID) cards through a partnership with HayPass, a private operator established by IN Groupe and A.C.I. Technology. The project is part of a long-term public-private partnership aimed at modernizing Armenia’s identity services. Fourteen service centers are initially operational, with plans to expand to 23 locations. The government retains authority over identity verification, while HayPass manages enrollment, production, and delivery services. A new data center has also been inaugurated as part of the country’s digital identity infrastructure modernization. biometricupdate.com/…/armenia-launches-biometric-…
