The ICAO has defined the use of contactless chips and biometric identification embedded in passport booklets and datapages, in order to increase the level of border control security and prevent identity theft
The U.S. Congress has introduced a roadmap for migration to contactless chip passports for citizens and visa waiver countries,in order to strengthen the laws and processes of border control and immigration.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations that sets standards for travel documents, recommends that such electronic passports be used to store biometric features (facial and fingerprint recognition); typically,a digital facial photo and 2 or more fingerprint images are to be stored on a contactless high security microchip inside the passports protected by different types of security layers.
