Biometric Passport - Twenty-first Century Passport Security
A biometric passport is a combination of a paper and electronic identity document that used to authenticate the citizenship of travelers. The biometric passport is valid for 5 years for first time applicants, compared to 10 years passports without biometric features. The biometric passport is planned to have digital imaging and fingerprint biometrics placed on the radio frequency identification chip. A biometric passport uses the most advanced technology to verify a person’s identity, looking the same as a regular passport, with the exception of the computer chip on the photo page.
