Topic: New Bulgarian IDs to Resemble the Da Vinci Code
The new identity documents of the Bulgarian citizens will have an inbuilt antenna and they will incorporate basic biometric information about the document holder
It turns out that Dan Brown's bestseller The Da Vinci Code is a piece of cake to decipher, if compared to the new biometrically-enhanced IDs of the Bulgarian citizens. The Mount of Shipka, the building of the National Assembly and the world famous Rhyton will be only part of the national symbols that the Ministry of Interior Affairs will incorporate in our new identity documents as security images. These images will be 'visible' only to the special reader of the border police and customs officers.
A special microchip incorporated in the identity document will contain the biometrics of the document's holder. The Bulgarian Ministry of Interior will start issuing the new IDs at the end of the year. For the time being, a microchip will be only incorporated in the Bulgarians' travel passports and it will contain the holder's signature and photo. From 2009 on, the holder's iris and fingerprints will be also incorporated in the microchip. It is still not clear whether our new ID documents will contain information about the religion and the blood group of the holder, as the case is in Greece and some other EU member states.
In addition to biometrics, the ID microchip will also contain personal data about the document's holder - his name, middle name and surname, personal number and the date of birth, as well as the number of the identity document. In addition, a miniature antenna will be incorporated the new IDs. It will help the reader decipher the biometric data contained in the chip.

RuseBG: What a huge effort just to take some money again from our pockets. I don't think there is any other country in the world that have changed whatever kind of document so often in recent years.
