A passport reader is a camera inbuilt device that is designed to take photos of identity documents using special illumination. With the advancement of technology, the passport reader at airports and other security checkers allows biometric passport reader apps for the verification of documents in order to make entry faster and easier than depending on traditional passport photos. Furthermore, the use of electronic passport readers reduces the need for personnel to check documents at check-in and check-out points. For instance, thousands of flights have been cancelled in Britain in the year 2022 owing to the shortages of staff considering the rise in COVID-19 cases. Therefore, a reduction in the requirement of staff for the authentication of identity documents is anticipated to surge the passport reader market size.
