Clouds outside the window. Getting lost in an unfamiliar street in a foreign country. Where is the obstacle to dream? No, it’s not a dream, it’s really easy to travel abroad. There are no more hassles of passport, visa or travel document examination abroad. Now you can easily step abroad using ‘e-passport’. What are you wondering? Yes, you heard absolutely right. The second edition of the Passport Service Project (PSP 2.0) is set to change the definition of foreign travel.
Looks exactly like the old blue passport. But hidden under the mask lies the wonder of modern technology. A tiny radio frequency identification (RFID) chip and antenna. This chip will hold personal information collected from your fingerprint and eyeball. A piece of golden craftsmanship just below the national emblem on the mullet will convey that you are now part of world-class modern technology.
From now on, Indian citizens can get this chip-equipped passport whenever they want. But in the first phase this service is being provided from certain centers in major cities. The application rules are essentially the same. Go to the Passport Service Portal and register. Then fill the form and submit the fee online. It is confirmed by going to the center on the specified day and presenting the biometric. Once the police clearance is obtained, the magical blue book will come straight to your home by post.
Why is this innovation necessary? First, safety. This chip is almost impossible to counterfeit or steal information. Secondly, there is no need to stand in line for hours at foreign airports and face immigration. With automatic ‘e-gate’ you can exit effortlessly. Remember, there is no need to throw away the old passport until it expires. But you will get this advanced opportunity from now on when you are new or renewing. Along with more than 120 countries, India has opened a new horizon in the world of travel. The whole world will now be caught in the blue mullet.
