General Information
The ordinary electronic passport uses modern technologies, such as anti-counterfeiting printing and a microchip containing the owner’s personal data, photo and fingerprints. Biometric datas are only collected for applicants of 12 years of age and above. It allows the holder to enter the USA for stays less than 90 days, without requiring an entry visa (Visa Waiver Program).
The temporal validity of the ordinary passport differs according to the age of the holder:
• for children under 3 years of age the validity is 3 years;
• for children from 3 to 18 years old the validity is 5 years;
• for adults the validity is 10 years.
The passport renewal application can be submitted no earlier than seven months from the expiry date indicated in the document.
The new passport will be issued on the same day of the appointment barring unforeseen circumstances.
All valid passports remain valid until their natural expiration date.
