Electronic Passport

An electronic passport, or e-passport, is a modern type of passport that has a small embedded chip. This chip securely stores the passport holder's personal information, including their name, nationality, date of birth, and a digital photograph. The e-passport also contains biometric data, which can include fingerprints or facial recognition details for security. When traveling, e-passports can be scanned at automated gates, speeding up the verification process. This technology enhances security against forgery and identity theft, making international travel more efficient and safe.
