Malaysian Biometric passport

The biometric passport is the most secure form of travel document in the world.

There are three different types of passports: regular passports, visa-free ePassports, and biometric passports. Regular passports contain information about the holder’s name, date of birth, nationality, gender, place of birth, occupation, and signature.

While visa-free ePassports contain similar information plus additional data such as the holder’s photograph and fingerprints; and biometric passports contain even more detailed information about the holder, including iris scans, facial recognition, palm prints, and finger scans.

Biometric passports are the safest way to travel because they protect against fraud, identity theft, and counterfeiting. They are also convenient because they require no manual entry of personal information.

While regular passports are still widely used around the world, ePassports are becoming increasingly popular. In 2017, there were over 5 billion ePassports issued worldwide, compared to just over 3 billion regular passports.

As of January 2018, every person born in the United States is required to carry an ePassport, while some states, like California and New York, require residents to use both an ePassport and a traditional passport.

In addition to being safer than paper passports, ePassports are also much easier to replace if lost or stolen. If someone loses their physical passport, it can take weeks or months to obtain another one. With an ePassport, however, the government can issue a replacement within minutes.

ePassports are also more environmentally friendly than paper passports. Each ePassport uses less water, energy, and materials than a single sheet of paper.
