Mandatory digital submission of biometric passport photos

Summary

Original text of the question(s):<br /> <br /> How does the federal government justify the obligation to digitally submit biometric passport photos since May 1, 2025 against the background of - in my view - significant economic impact on photography businesses as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), for which the production of biometrically compliant passport photos represents a central source of income, and how does the federal government assess the socio-economic impact on these businesses, taking into account the promotion of fair competition?
