The Case for ePassports

Stronger Verification. Smoother Journeys.

One Document, Multiple Ways to Verify

Chip data and machine-readable zones give border officers layered verification options, making identity fraud significantly harder to attempt and easier to detect.

Faster Crossings for Every Traveller

eGates read chip data in seconds. Shorter queues, less friction, and a border experience that reflects well on the issuing government.

Protection That Works on Every Level

Physical and digital security features reinforce each other, making passports resistant to alteration, cloning, and unauthorised access throughout their full validity period.

Passport Booklets

Security Engineered into Every Component

From paper and polycarbonate data pages to eCovers, chip inlays and integrated components, our designers and security engineers combine advanced protection with national identity and cultural design.

Polycarbonate passport data page with laser-engraved personalisation

Polycarbonate Datapage

A polycarbonate passport data page is a highly durable, multi-layered structure manufactured from fused polycarbonate materials, providing exceptional protection for the holder's personal data, photograph, and electronic credentials. Personalised data are permanently laser engraved into the polycarbonate core, creating a secure and tamper-resistant platform that is extremely difficult to alter, counterfeit, or replace.

Paper passport data page with security printing

Paper Datapage

A paper passport data page is a secure document page manufactured from specialised security paper and protected with advanced security printing, personalisation technologies, and a protective laminate. It contains biographical information and machine-readable data, with multiple layers of overt, covert, and forensic security features.

Passport eCover with integrated chip inlay

eCovers

A chip inlay integrated directly into the passport cover — a straightforward upgrade path from non-electronic to ePassport.

Inlay types and antenna materials

Inlay Types and Materials

Antenna and inlay options matched to the booklet format, substrate flexibility, and intended chip location.

Individual passport booklet components

Component Supply

Individual components supplied to national printers and manufacturing partners that assemble their own booklets.

Good to Know!
