Bosnia and Herzegovina - International Passport : Series VII (2015 — 2025)

The pages are full with immigration stampings and this passport was replaced because there are no more place for immigration stamping.

Series VII : ICAO Biometric Passport (Generation 3)

In June 2014 IDDEEA announced that Bosnia and Herzegovina will introduce the third generation of biometric passports with a focus on the implementation of Supplemental Access Control (SAC) in October 2014.

It was first issued on 1 October 2014. The primary change is the use of a thin flexible polycarbonate for datapage and with a colour image imprinted in the second layer of the polycarbonate. Bosnia and Herzegovina is the first country outside the European Union and among the first in the world to implement this type of passport.

Passports for Bosnia and Herzegovina are produced by Bundesdruckerei (Federal Printing Office) from Germany and the passports are issued by Agency for Identification Documents, Registers and Data Exchange of Bosnia and Herzegovina (IDDEEA).

This series is also known as W Series and 2014 Model.

COAT-OF-ARMS

The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina currently uses the coat of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina for official purposes.

The coat of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina was adopted in 1998, replacing the previous design that had been in use since 1992 when Bosnia and Herzegovina gained independence. It follows the design of the national flag.

The current coat of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina presents the typical straight top, oval sides, and spiked bottom. The coat of arms has two background colours, dark blue and gold. The top right corner forms a yellow triangle symbolizing the shape of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the blue covering the remaining portions of the flag portraying the sky, rivers and lakes.

PASSPORT NUMBER

In this series, the passport number starts with B and followed by 7 digits. 

Because it does not follow the ICAO requirement which uses 9 alphanumerics, the document number has been padded with one < in the MRZ.
