Pakistan Introduce E-Passport Service |
E-Passport Service For Overseas Pakistanis
You will remember that under General Musharraf, our national identity cards and national passports were computerized. This was in 2004 when machine readable passports were launched in Pakistan.We are now going to upgrade our national passport in April-May after 17 years.After the approval of Prime Minister Imran Khan, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, They have also announced the date of issuance of E-Passport
So all the people who are making a new passport or are thinking of making one. I would advise them to wait until the e-passport starts. So that they do not have to pay for e-passport again. You should know that many western countries have hinted that in future they will only issue visas to people who have an e-passport.
What Is An E-Passport ?
And what are the benefits to you and the relevant departments? A link to find out how to apply for the new passport and its fee has been released on Google. You can get the information by clicking on it.DG Passport and Immigration Dr. Neem Rauf says that e-passport will be a card stuck inside a booklet with a microchip in it. It will contain the passport data of the passenger and all the biometric information such as fingerprint and photo etc. This microchip will be mounted on a seat made of the safest material in the world. And it will be laser written on this page or sheet obtained by the National Security Printing Corporation, which will make further security possible. This passport will be equipped with public (key) infrastructure "PKI" which makes foolproof instant identification possible.
How To Use E-Passport
Now let's talk about how to use e-passport. So, sir, when the chip in it is scanned at the e-gate at the airport, all the information of the passenger in it will come out. And passengers will pass through the immigration gate unhindered. As soon as the passenger puts his e-passport at the e-gate, the information will be scanned and the door will open by itself. Then they will go to the next gate and put their fingerprints and if you stand in front of the camera, that gate will also open. If we talk about the benefits, according to the Ministry of Interior, e-passport will not only increase the world's confidence in Pakistan's passport, but also Pakistan's image as a modern nation will emerge.This e-passport enables all security agencies to verify the instant identification of any passenger in the world by looking at their data and their passport microchip. Thus on the passport, Fake photo, Fake name Or fake bio metric verification will be eliminated.
According to the DG Passport and Immigration, the card will not only benefit the security authorities but also the passengers without any hassle.
Immigration will be easy without long queues.
He said that the installation work of e-gate is being started in Pakistan now but only for Pakistani passengers. They will get e-passport and will be able to use e-gate facility in other countries.
Friends, As Pakistan shifts to e-system, the people will not only be reduced by the discrimination and bribery of government employees, but their work will start in hours instead of days.
