The Institute regularly holds talks and exchange views with the companies offering both individual technologies and integrated solutions for the creation of biometric ID systems.

A new generation of IDs containing microchips will carry more information about the owner. Every citizen of Azerbaijan will get its identification number and will automatically be placed in a database of internal affairs and security, migration service, justice and tax inspection. This will allow controlling border security, as well as fighting against illegal migration and organized crime.
