I’m just elated that finally, after waiting for 25 business days, my e-passport has arrived via courier! It’s brown with a beautiful and shimmering personal info page.
What’s better is that it has electronic circuitry that is loaded with biometric and other important info. With this, passport problems should be minimized if not eliminated totally compared to my previous green passport.
