Summary

ePassports, or biometric passports, combine traditional travel documents with contactless microprocessor chips containing facial biometric and personal data protected by cryptography, improving resistance to fraud and identity theft while supporting faster automated border processing. Their worldwide interoperability depends on ICAO Document 9303, which defines standards for chip technology, data formats, biometric images, and security controls such as Basic, Supplemental, and Extended Access Control. More than 150 countries and territories had issued ePassports by late 2023, though adoption remains uneven and pandemic-related delays affected some programs, while European initiatives such as the Entry/Exit System and ETIAS aim to expand compliance. The technology is expected to develop through additional biometrics, reusable digital identities, and mobile-wallet integration, while providers such as Didit offer tools for chip reading, document validation, facial matching, liveness checks, and watchlist screening.
