1) “7 .1.1.2 The cardbody shall be made out from PC in a multilayer security structure, technologically assembled, with a thickness not exceeding 0,76 mm and rounded corners at the outer edges (radius 3, l 8±0,30mm).
Note: Manufacturer shall provide to Beneficiary the information on the number of layers of the PC card, which must not be less than 6 layers.”
We would like to ask PSA to allow the bidders to recommend different multi-layer structure and thickness of the polycarbonate data page, keeping the requirement of security features and the high-quality of the products.
Any recommendations not contrary to the technical specifications will be taken into account.
13) What type of CA (Certificate Authority) is used for the issuance of the certificates?
In the production of passports, two national-level root certification Athorities are used (Republic of Moldova, ASP):
(1) Country Signing Certification Authority (CSCA), according to ICAO Doc 9303, p.12
(2) Country Verifying Certification Authority (CVCA), according to BSI 3110
“6.7 The serial number of the passport shall be applied:
- to the bottom on the inside front cover - letterpress printing;”
We would like to ask PSA to allow the bidders to recommend placing the letterpress numbering on the first page following the polycarbonate data page (first paper-based page). It is recommended from several points of view, like personalization, verification and technological points. On the other hand, the general production practice of the passports justifies this method of serial numbering.
Please comply with the requirements stated in the Technical specifications.
(7.2.6 Transparent window with color change (the transparent area will change its color according to the color of the background on which it is viewed, using technology with which the material used will have the effect of optical change):
- on light background: the window will have a primary color (blue);
- on dark background: the window will change its hue to a second color (red), and an image will appear as a third color (yellow-green) as an embedded image;
NOTE- The same effect is created when the transparent window is illuminated with an artificial light source (ex. Torch).
- the embedded image will also be reactive to UV light (yellow-green fluorescence).
Area size: 10 mm x 12 mm.
The transparent window will accept laser engraving at the personalization stage.)
• Should the window that changes color according to the color of the background on which it is viewed (from blue to red) fluoresce under UV light illumination?
• Should the embedded image appear only on the dark background?
• Is it a requirement for the window to contain one or two OVM – Optical Variable Material (color changing material)? If the answer is: two, then is it required for the OVM that changes color from blue to red to have cut outs which would allow for the second OVM to show through it creating a graphic design that would consist of three colors? (first color being that of the first OVM (the blue/red background), second color being the color of the first OVM (the blue/red background) combined with the color of the second OVM and third color being the color of the second OVM showing through the cut out in the first OVM (the blue/red background))
• Would it be possible to receive a graphic design for this element?
1) The fluorescence under UV light illumination for the transparent window is allowed but not mandatory.
2) The embedded image should appear on the dark background, under UV light and when window is illuminated with an artificial light.
3) The bidder should ensure the color shifting of the transparent window according to p. 7.2.6., using the technology up to their discretion.
4) For better understanding of the expected effect of colour shifting for the transparent window please access the appendix ,,Colour shifting of the transparent window.signed.pdf,,
The answer to the question can be found in the document

Please clarify if the 80 kb memory shall be reserved for 100% personalization of personal data or it includes also the MRTD application? In case you are asking for a chip memory size where the MRTD application is already loaded in the chip then the remaining free / available memory for personalization of personal data is less as 80kb deepening on the MRTD application size.
The chip memory volume, reserved ONLY for personal & biometric data storing, including facial image and two fingerprints shall be at least of 80 KB.
The number of requested visible colors looks quite high which shall be printed on a single paper.
For the financial calculation, could you reconfirm, that the number 12 visible colors is correct and please list the colors that shall be printed with the 10 printing plates. A normal printing machine with 4 or 5 offset units would need min 3 or 4 print phases to print all 12 colors.
Our understanding is that the 12 colors consist of 10 visible colors and 2 further colors for the iris printing?
Further, we would like to ask if the 2 visible colors for the intaglio printing are counted inside of 12 visible colors or additionally?
Further, we would like to ask if the one color with iridescent ink; is also counted inside of 12 visible or additionally?
