Why protect your biometric passport?
Modern biometric passports contain an electronic chip that communicates with compatible passport readers. RFID shielding provides an additional precaution against unwanted contactless interaction while your passport is stored.
How the TfL ePassport Shield works
The removable shielding insert sits alongside the passport’s chip page and helps reduce communication with compatible readers while correctly positioned.
How to use your ePassport Shield
Insert Slide the shield inside your passport alongside the chip page.
Store Keep the shield in position while carrying your passport.
Remove Slide the shield out when your passport needs to be electronically scanned.
Replace Slide it back into position after scanning.
