Biometric Passport: Introduction
- A biometric passport has specially designed passport pages that contain data chip, and complex watermarks.
- Biometric passports are used to identify personal data over a passport PIN or photo as it uses personal characters such as eye maps, facial attributes, and fingerprints as primary credential features.
- These biometric features were recognized by The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) after examining multiple other biometrics including retinal and fingerprint scans.
- Biometric passports are segmented by type (facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, others), by application (leisure travel, business travel), and region.
