• E-passports are modern, highly secure travel documents with an electronic chip storing personal and biometric data.

• E-passports significantly speed up immigration processes at airports through instant scanning by automatic reading systems.
• The application process is similar to regular passports: online application, appointment at Passport Seva Kendra, document submission, and biometrics.
• Fees for e-passports are the same as regular passports (₹1500 for 36 pages, ₹2000 for 60 pages under normal service), offering no additional cost to the public.
