Norwegian ePassports Kicked Off
Filed in archive Implementation on October 27, 2005
It's not just the United States where high tech passports are making the news.
Remember that I noted a while back that objections had been raised to the plan to implement RFID passports in Norway. Well, despite the objections it looks like RFID passports in Norway are a fait accompli.
Anders Jacobsen from RFIDBuzz.com notes that "a batch of just below 30,000 unencrypted, RFID-enabled passports are being printed thoughout October" in Norway.
The new passports currently contain a description of facial features, but by 2007 will include fingerprints, as required by the european union.
RFIDBuzz has the story translated from Norwegian.

Thanks for the information, Michael. I have been looking for recent stories about Germany's plans. If you know of any good English language articles, please send them my way.
