Biometric Passports
At PK Photography, we supply photographs to the exact requirements for passport, immigration and visa purposes for ALL COUNTRIES including the USA, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, New zealand.
In 2006, the UK Passport Service (UKPS) will start to introduce biometric passports. Biometric technology makes use of the unique features we each have.
The first generation biometric passports will have many new security features, including a chip with the facial biometrics taken from a passport photo.
- help fight passport fraud and forgery;
- help the public and the UK to fight identity fraud;
- ensure the British Passport stays one of the most secure and respected in the world;
- facilitate more robust border controls and, in time, automated immigration checks;
- meet international standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO);
- ensure British citizens can continue to benefit from visa-free travel to the USA; and
- avoid disadvantaging British Passport holders as other countries switch to the more secure biometric passports.
