BioLink is Committed to Add Biometric Security to Bahamian Passports - BioLink announces an e-passport project in the Bahamas, which is expected to cover 255,000 citizens. Introduction of e-passports enhanced with biometrics is intended to ensure the safety of passport holders and security of confidential data stored in a passport against fraudulent use. E-passports meet the globally accepted standards for machine-readable documents, such as the recommendations established by the ICAO, of which the Bahamas is a member.
The Bahamian Department of Immigration and Ministry of Foreign Affairs are charged with preventing illegal border crossing and trafficking by means of e-passports. An e-passport contains an embedded contactless chip, holding electronic data of the passport holder, to ensure the integrity of personal data, including the holder’s biometric credentials.
