Response from the competent authority: "Answer from the Ministry of Public Administration:The\
  \ main task of the Ministry of Public Administration is to provide quality, fast,\
  \ accessible, clear and simple services to citizens and the economy, reducing overall\
  \ costs on the one hand and optimising business processes on the other.\r\nAdministrative\
  \ units use a special, licensed IT solution called the Modern Workplace (SDM) for\
  \ the issuing of identity cards, passports and driving licences.\r\nThe SDM was\
  \ introduced in administrative units in 2008 with the aim of making the process\
  \ of recording an application more streamlined and faster for both the customer\
  \ and the civil servant who receives the application. Special hardware (multi-functional\
  \ scanners and digital signature plates) allows quick access to the personal data\
  \ in the register of identity documents, capturing the photograph, signature and\
  \ fingerprint.  In the 10 years since the introduction of the SDM, some shortcomings\
  \ of the existing solution have become apparent.\r\nThis year, the Ministry of Public\
  \ Administration has initiated procedures for the purchase of a new IT solution,\
  \ the Picture Signature Imprint (PSI), which will operate as a stand-alone building\
  \ block, independent of the individual registry, but which can be easily integrated\
  \ with any back-end IT system that needs one or more of the required functionalities\
  \ of capturing a photograph, signature or fingerprint. The solution will need to\
  \ be able to capture and verify the captured biometric data and to send the data\
  \ to central registries and other back-end information systems.\r\nOne of the functional\
  \ requirements of the IT solution will be a user and citizen friendly and easy way\
  \ of capturing fingerprints, signatures and images, through a camera connected to\
  \ a workstation, where it will also be possible to automatically recognise the face,\
  \ automatically cut the photo from the form/scanner, automatically correct the image,\
  \ automatically adapt the image to ICAO requirements (according to the requirements\
  \ of the individual document), prepare the photo for sending to the registry, possibility\
  \ of manual editing of the photo (cropping, colour correction, etc.), etc.), possibility\
  \ to edit the photo with advanced tools, background removal, image capture with\
  \ webcams.\r\nThe IT solution is expected to be deployed in the administrative units\
  \ in the second half of 2019 at the latest.\r\n "
