Reading ePassports
The EasyRead is optimized for one-step reading of electronic passports (ePassports) and standard
passports. An ePassport is the same as a traditional passport with the addition of a small integrated circuit
(smart card IC) embedded in the cover. All ePassports are indicated by an internationally recognized logo
(shown below), printed on the front cover.
The smart card integrated circuit in an ePassport stores:
•
The biographical data visually displayed on the data page of the passport
•
The passport holder’s photograph stored in digital form
•
A unique chip identification number
•
A digital signature to protect the stored data from alteration.
•
Other optional data as defined by the ICAO standards body.
The EasyRead is equipped with two separate
antennas for reading ePassports, since some
countries have placed the contactless smart card
chip in the front cover of the ePassport, while
other countries have place it in the rear cover.
Having two antennas ensures that the ePassport
smart card IC can be read seamlessly after
scanning the MRZ without having to move the
document away from the optical scanner.
