What is an electronic passport (epassport)?
An electronic passport is the same as a traditional passport with the addition of a small integrated circuit (or “chip”) embedded in the back cover. The chip adds digital security [link] features that show the passport is authentic and the information in the chip has not been altered. These features prevent counterfeiting and better link the passport to its owner.
