Passports in Europe
The article says that the European version of the bimetric passports would have fingerprint scans. I recently applied and received my French passport and I did not have to give any sort of fingerprint. And I know for a fact that I have never given my fingerprints in France. Just FYI
- It does actually say "staged" biometrics including fingerprints, and lower down says "None of the issued biometric passports mentioned above include fingerprints. Addition of digital fingerscans to German passports is planned for March 2007" NinjaKid 14:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

here is more information on the problems faced by epassport on the UK and europe [1]
U.S. Biometric Passports
I think that the reason the US is not using iris recognition or fingerprints in its new biometric passport has less to do with keeping down the cost, and more to do with the general aversion in the US to "Big Brother". Many people in the US would revolt, if they were told that in order to get a passport they needed to be fingerprinted or have some other biometric recording made. Sure, cost is a factor, but it's not the main factor. Steggall 14:18 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Well, some states (I know California for sure) require fingerprints when obtaining a driver's licence. There doesn't seem to be much of a revolt against that. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 13:38, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
What is a 'European' Passport?
The term 'European Passport' is used in this article, but without defining 'European' in this context. Does it mean the European Union (25 countries)? Or the European Economic Area (another 3 countries: including Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein)? Or does it include other European Countries such as Ukraine, Russia, Moldova, Bosnia? Or all 56 members of the OCSE (I would doubt it)? Some clarification would be helpful. Simhedges 23:09, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I think it's referring to the EU - the leaflet that came with my British biometric passport says "In line with new European Union standards, we are also considering including fingerprints in biometric passports in the future." --Jonnymoblin 20:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
British biometric passport
Does anyone know if the Identity and Passport Service has stopped issuing the old non-biometric passports? I know that my younger sister received a child biometric passport, so they must be well on their way with implementing it. Also, is the bit about applying from the British Embassy needed? --Jonnymoblin 20:34, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

More information on UK Biometrics
I run fraud lessons for a finance company in how to detect false forms of ID. We already discuss the security measures in the old red european machine readable passports, but there isn't enough data around to properly train people on the new UK biometric passports. Does anyone have any pictures of the visa pages, UV reactions, watermarks, latent images, destriperfs or any of the other features? If so, can you upload them?
