Have You Seen The New UK Passport?

Tweet

The new UK passport is about to be released to all new applicants this October and it is being promised by the Home Office that the passport will be ahead of today's criminals with the state of the art technology. The enhanced security features include hiding the security chip from view, and a personal details section that features holograms. The security chip which holds the owners' personal details - will no longer be visible, instead hidden within the inside cover. It is believed that it will be tampered proof, as it will make it much harder to replace the chip without causing noticeable damage to the passport cover. Other changes include printing another photograph of the holder on the observations page, and stretching designs across two pages rather than one. I really have to admit that the disclosure is indeed good to know and hope that more countries will look into this new passport to adopt this new innovation against forgery and identity thefts through passports. What do you think? Do you think it is a waste of time, money and resources? Ref: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11071998
