Mobile biometric sessions

Data capture for passports and identity cards

Mobile biometric missions are organized periodically by the Consulate General of Switzerland in Montreal and the Consulate General of Switzerland in Vancouver.

They allow Swiss citizens residing far from their consulate to complete the biometric data capture required for the renewal of a passport and/or identity card locally.

The sessions listed below are offered according to needs and available resources.
