I have heard that the e passport microchips could be damaged if stapled. where is the microchips? Is it in the data page, inner pages or the

back cover. A friend of mine new passport was stapled to the old passport at the back cover by Government Relation officer in KSA. He is worried

about possible damage to the microchips. where is the chip embedded?

I work with the Nigeria Immigration Service and I can assure u the microchips on d e passport are embedded on d back cover page.We usually advise travellers never to staple on d back cover or place d passport on ur back pocket to avoid damage.

Thanks for the response Mr umulobi.

(1) Does that mean the passport is automatically damaged if stapled at the back?

(11) Can he still use it to travel if the data page is ok and the microchip is damaged?

Your response will be appreciated.

No one on here can give a definite answer, they can only guess.
The passport must be taken to somewhere like an airport where they can check it BEFORE trying to travel.
Do not wait till the day of journey to find out!

Please I’m trying to verify my LinkedIn and all my ID cards have been rejected cause they claim it’s for NFC enabled. I’m waiting to collect my international passport by the end of the month and I just wanted to confirm if an international passwords ?

Your NFC-chip is in the lower part of the hard back cover of your international Nigerian passport and this can be confirmed by an nfc-chip app reader on google play or App Store ✌️
