New documents have been valid in Belarus for almost a month. Since September 1, they are issued by all departments of citizenship and migration of the country. In total, there are eight new types of documents that contain biometric data. They include service and diplomatic passports, as well as ID-card to identify the holder (it is valid in Belarus).
Biometric passports are needed only to travel abroad. It is possible to produce such passport only if an applicant has an ID-card. The timeframe for the issue of biometric documents is shorter than for ordinary passports - from 5 to 15 days.
