Look for a biometric passport symbol on the cover, usually a small rectangle with a circle in the center
Check the data page for a chip icon or wording such as “electronic passport,” “ePassport,” or “biometric passport”
See whether the passport contains an embedded RFID chip
Review the issuing country’s passport information on its official government website
Ask the passport office or issuing authority directly
If your passport was issued in recent years, it is more likely to be biometric
If it has a machine-readable zone but no chip, it may not be biometric
