The DNA Sample Collection Law took effect Wednesday and three centers have been established for this purpose. Sources disclosed the general departments for Criminal Evidence, Citizenship and Passports Affairs in the Interior Ministry have established three centers to serve citizens who want to obtain electronic passports after their DNA samples are taken by mid-June.
Sources said three teams from the Laboratories, Automated Cognition and DNA departments have been assigned to the centers to receive the citizens. Sources revealed the saliva DNA sample collection process per individual will not exceed one minute.
Sources added a grace period of one year has been given for stopping the use of the current version of citizens’ passports, indicating the transactions of citizens who will fail to obtain e-passports within this period will be suspended automatically.
