An e-passport, also known as an electronic passport or biometric passport, is a travel document that incorporates an embedded electronic chip containing personal information and biometric data such as a photograph, fingerprint, or iris scan of the passport holder. It is an advanced form of the traditional paper passport, designed to enhance security, improve efficiency, prevent identity theft or fraud in international travel, and streamline border control processes. The electronic chip embedded within an e-passport stores essential information such as the passport holder’s name, date of birth, nationality, and a digitized version of their photograph. In addition, the inclusion of biometric data in e-passports provides an added layer of identity verification, making it more difficult to forge or tamper with the passport. It includes biometric authentication that allows immigration authorities to match the passport holder’s physical characteristics with the stored data, ensuring a higher level of accuracy in verifying the traveler’s identity. Moreover, it reduces human errors, enhances security, and expedites traveler processing times, resulting in smoother immigration procedures for travelers and authorities. At present, e-passport is gaining immense popularity across the globe.
