It contains the electronic storage medium on which machine-readable encrypted all the basic information about its owner. Thus, this type of document is considered to be more reliable and protected from fraud. It contains more pages than the ordinary passport and the validity period is doubled and is 10 years old.

In some cases, you have to do it before the end of the period of validity of the passport. For example, the cause for appropriate treatment may be a situation when the free space intended for setting marks on crossing the border, the current passport expired.
