Conservation of data
Mandatory 3-month storage
When you apply for a passport, we must store your data for 3 months in our “passport production” database. Doing so enables us to:
- Produce your passport.
- Reproduce a new passport if you notice an administrative or production error on the return of your passport. This means that you will not have to return a 2nd time to provide new data
Optional 7-year storage
Solely upon your request, we can store your data for 7 years.
This means that in certain well-defined cases we can produce a duplicate of your passport, without you having to return and provide new data at your post:
