But now all citizens in Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands who apply for a passport or a new passport will receive the new e-passport in physical form. The new official and advanced document meets the highest security standards in the EU as well as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and consists of 32 pages, including a polycarbonate data page with an electronic chip. It tells the manufacturer Veridos in one. »We are thrilled that the Kingdom of Denmark was able to start issuing the new e-passports according to schedule. Citizens will receive state-of-the-art documents that are not only tamper-proof, but also enable them to cross borders easily and efficiently, ”said Marc-Julian Siewert, CEO of Veridos. 'Applicants will be able to receive their new passports fairly quickly, as the issuance process only takes three to ten working days depending on demand. We are very happy that we can help provide the citizens of Denmark with such high-end travel documents, «adds Jesper Mikkelsen, owner and CEO of idpeople. The new passports contain a total of four photos of the holder, including a standard portrait, a photo in a semi-transparent window and a color photo. But even though it is a new passport, there are still elements from the old one. For the historical theme and the familiar design motifs from the passport over the past 20 years are still to be found in the new passport. The Jelling stones, which create a strong connection to the founding of the Danish nation-state, continue to be shown as the common motif. Denmark issues a total of eight types of passports: Danish, Greenlandic and Faroese nationality passports, diplomatic passports, service passports, foreign passports, convention passports and temporary passports.
