Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa launched the country’s e-passport<\/a> late Tuesday, aiming to improve security by preventing identity theft and forgery.<\/p>\n

“This move is consistent with the government’s vision of a modernized economy through the use of advanced information and communication technology systems,” Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n

He made the remarks during the inauguration ceremony, which also coincided with the commissioning of a new passport enrolment center in Harare.<\/p>\n

Among the new e-key passport’s features are an electronic cover with a chip and a security thread fully embedded in the inner booklet pages.<\/p>\n

“These enhanced security features will go a long way toward combating cross-border organized crime and illegal migration, thereby promoting the integrity of our immigration system,” Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n

He also stated that an online application system will be implemented to allow people to apply for and pay for travel documents remotely, with only biometrics requiring a physical appearance at the registry.<\/p>\n

The normal processing fee for a new e-passport is $100, while the urgent processing fee for an emergency passport is $200.<\/p>\n

All valid current passports<\/a> will be valid until December 31, 2023, when they will no longer be accepted internationally.<\/p>\n
