Biometric passport production and airport border system
In operation
Semlex reported passport production and an airport border-management installation in Madagascar in April 2014 1. In September 2023, Cabinet approved extending the passport cooperation agreement for twelve months to September 2024 on existing terms. It cited continuity of production and time needed for international-tender preparations 2. This record does not infer a current contract from that extension or treat renewal as an independent performance finding. Later extensions, replacement awards, revenue allocation, full contract duration and detailed ownership or data-retention terms remain unconfirmed in the opened primary records.
