Over
the last two years, the Identity and Passport Service (IPS) has successfully
introduced a range of procedures and systems to prevent identity and passport
fraud. In March 2006, we launched one of our most important counter-fraud
initiatives, the biometric passport.
The biometric passport has an updated design since its first launch and additional security features. The updated features include pages with intricate designs, complex watermarks and a chip antenna.
