So Turkey is in the process of introducing the new national identification cards with biometric information (with a chip) at a plot level. The biometric data stored in the chip is a combination of fingerprint and palm vein print data. The governing bodies indicate that the smart cards will ease the processes with official institutions, thus making life easier both for the citizens and the institutions. The introduction of these cards is also part of Turkey's fullfilment of the requirements of its visa liberalisation roadmap within EU (1). Yet the interesting issue is the citizens of most of the EU countries resist the mandatory use/distribution of National Identity cards and Biometric cards, thus their usage (if issued to the citizens) is quite limited. So one questions, their mandatory usage and naturalization within Turkey as part of the EU roadmap.
For a good overview of the National Identity cards in Turkey, please see "Citizenship rights in a surveillance society: The case of the electronic ID card in Turkey" by Alanur Çavlin Bozbeyoğlu.
