The Chinese e-passport is a new biometric passport that the government of China has issued to its citizens starting in 2012. It’s a special micro-chipped document that contains digitalized biometric information of the passport holder. This document also features the holder’s signature and fingerprints.
The e-Passport is also being used in several other countries around the world. It was integrated with modern microchip technology, which is why it’s difficult to copy. Thus, this passport helps to make traveling to other countries safer.
Another great thing about the Chinese e-passport is that the holder will be able to use the special gates dedicated to e-passport holders at various airports all over the country. These are automated gates at the border control where you can have your e-passport automatically scanned and checked without having to interact with an immigration officer. The e-passport also makes passing through airport gates faster and reduces long queues and waiting times.
