1-The passport
From November 24, 2015, all travelers must have a biometric passport, the validity of which is now ten (10) years and five (5) years for minors.
The presence of minor children under the age of twelve is not compulsory provided that the photos provided in their files are in conformity.
However, the post reserves the right to request their presence in the event of the need for verification.
Beyond 12 years old, minor children must be accompanied by the father or legal representative.
The mother may request the establishment of passports for the benefit of her minor children in the following cases:
● If the father is deceased (provide an extract from the death certificate or present
the family record book bearing the marginal note “deceased”)
● If the father is not of Algerian nationality (provide a copy of his identity document
proving his nationality)
● If she is divorced and she has custody of the child (provide a copy of the divorce
judgment)

and legalized by a competent Algerian authority)

• From now on, the biometric passports are individual; consequently, the minor children will not be able any more to be carried on the passports of their parents.
Procedures for withdrawing the biometric passport
Biometric passports are established in Algeria. The concerned person is invited to check on the website where the file was submitted, if they are available before presenting themselves for the withdrawal.
For adults and children over the age of 12, attendance is mandatory in order to carry out a fingerprint comparison.
For children who have not reached the age of 12 at the time of depositing the file, attendance is not required.
The biometric passport can be collected at the counter reserved for this purpose,
on presentation of:
- The birth certificate "12S" (original) for the people to whom it was returned when the file was submitted.
- Deposit receipt.
- The old passport (whether valid or expired)
IMPORTANT
In accordance with the provisions of Law No. 14-03 of February 24, 2014 relating to travel permits and documents, the passport must be collected by its holder as soon as he is informed of its availability at the Embassy.
Any passport not withdrawn by its holder is destroyed six (06) months after the date of notification of its availability at the Embassy.
In this case, and except in cases of special caces, the stamp duty required for the application for a new passport is equal to twice the fixed stamp duty.

Nationals registered abroad and holders of a biometric passport can now request a national biometric identity card.
