E Passport Pakistan benefits:
Sheikh Rashid said, the e-passport is the biggest upgradation in Pakistani passport history since 2004. It will have 29 new security features as a new electronic chip will be added to Pakistani bio-metric e-passport.
Almost all developed countries have installed e-gates at airports for a faster check-in and check-out service. Passengers must have e-passports to use E-gates. As Pakistan is also going to launch e-passport from today, so Pakistani will also able to use those e-gates at airports.

As per announcement by Sheik Rashid, the government officials and Diplomats only, will be eligible for e passport currently. Currently, it will not be available for the ordinary citizens, however, the normal machine readable passport (MRP) is still available for common public. We hope that the new e passport of Pakistan will soon be available for the members of the common public; when? we don’t know.
