E-passport system is going to be implemented in the country, will old passports get spoiled?

Without a passport, no country in the world allows you entry. Now a big change has started in the country regarding passport. The government is implementing e-passport system across the country. Its purpose is to make passport more secure and speed up your checking at the airport.

The specialty of the new system is that a small chip will be installed on the passport. Which will keep the important information related to your identity safe inside itself. Every new passport in the country will now come with a micro chip. It will look like a passport with normal pages. But there will be an electronic chip inside the cover.

In this, your photo, name, date of birth, signature and biometric information will remain safe. It is almost impossible to change or tamper with it. This new technology will help in curbing identity theft and passport fraud.

These chip passports are already being used in many countries of the world. Now India is also moving towards the same system. Its biggest feature is that the machine at the airport reads your information within a second. This makes the boarding process much faster.

Now people have a question whether the old passports will get spoiled? So let us tell you that the government has made it clear that the old passports will continue to function normally. There is no danger of them becoming invalid. You will get a new passport only when you go to get a new one made or to renew the old one.

At present, e-passports were being issued in some cities earlier, but now it is being implemented in the entire country. In the coming time, only e-passport will be made at every Passport Seva Kendra. With this, the passport system will become uniform and more advanced across the country.
