Poland to produce ID cards and passports for Armenia

The Polish Security Printing Works (PWPW) signed a contract for the supply of electronic identity cards, passport booklets and the implementation of a system for issuing these documents in the Republic of Armenia.

In November 2010 the Government of the Republic of Armenia announced the tender for the implementation of a complete system for issuing biometric passports and ID cards. Eight companies submitted offers in the tender but the offer of the Polish Security Printing Works beat all the competitors, including world leaders in the field. The contract includes implementation of an electronic system for issuing and personalization of biometric passports and identity cards. Over the next five years PWPW will also provide 300,000 pieces of modern secured passport booklets and one million secured, polycarbonate blank cards.

Passport

This is not the first contract executed by the Polish Security Printing Works in the Republic of Armenia. In June this year, the company launched the country's system of digital tachographs and will be for the next five years providing personalized tachograph cards. In fact, Armenia is not the first PWPW foreign client ordering identification documents. In 2007, the Polish Security Printing Works was the system supplier of biometric passports for Lithuania, and since 2010 the company has been producing booklets for passports and visas for Bangladesh. The contract was signed during the official visit of the President of Poland Bronisław Komorowski to the Republic of Armenia which took place from July 28th to July 29th, 2011. (PWPW)
