BELIZE ELECTRONIC PASSPORT

The new e-PICS system and e-Passports is more secure and will allow for efficient processing through modern border management systems. The e-passport includes an electronic chip to safeguard the user’s personal information and photograph as well as a verification feature for use at smart gates at international borders. It is a symbol of national pride for Belizeans and will establish a bond of trust between Belize and those countries processing entries.

We are now accepting all passport applications and processing biometrics where required!
