An Electronic Passport, also known as an e-passport, is a travel document that contains an embedded microchip. This chip securely stores the holder's personal information, including their name, date of birth, and a digital photograph. The e-passport is designed to enhance security and streamline the process of verifying a traveler’s identity at border control. When a traveler presents an electronic passport, it can be scanned by specialized readers that quickly access the information stored on the chip. This technology helps reduce the risk of fraud and improves the efficiency of international travel, making it easier for authorities to verify the identity of individuals crossing borders.
