Moldova has issued such passports exclusively with biometric data since 1 January 2011; the passport authority specifies electronic storage including facial biometric data and fixed 4/7/10-year terms.","No legacy extension creates a current non-biometric ordinary passport: Moldova MFA states passports are not extended, and the passport authority records that the former adult term was seven years before its 2018 increase. The child and medically impossible-fingerprint routes are still passport issuance routes with electronic biometric data; temporarily impossible fingerprints produce a one-year passport.","The French current Annex II schedules waive Moldovan biometric passports in Guadeloupe/French Guiana/Réunion, Mayotte, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and both Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy. The FW aggregate is uniform because both its component schedules use the same Moldovan biometric-passport condition.","The French maximum is 90 days in 180 days for GF, FW, YT and RE, and three months in six months for PF and NC.
