What Is an E-Passport? Benefits, Features and How to Apply in India
An e-passport is a modern version of the traditional passport, equipped with a contactless chip that securely stores personal and biometric details such as a digital photo, fingerprints or iris scans. This technology improves identity verification and reduces fraud. E-passports allow faster processing at airports through automated e-gates and provide stronger protection against tampering and identity theft. Applying for one in India follows the regular passport process, including online registration, document submission, biometrics, police verification and home delivery.
