What is the Algerian biometric driver’s license?

Entered into force in 2013, the “classic” licence (pink card with three parts) has been replaced by a plastic card in ID-1 format (credit card) with high-level security features (MRZ strip and electronic chip), which make it possible to better fight fraud and access information in real time. And it is precisely the MRZ tape that we use to check the validity of the document! Source: interieur.gov.dz
