Travel experts say that Uganda’s passport has attained the highest form of security that is recognizable in any country.
The new Electronic Machine-Readable Travel document, the e-passport was designed with enhanced security features, including fingerprint, facial, and iris recognition.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Lt Gen Joseph Musanyufu, says this will help Ugandan authorities by easing the verification of passports, but also travelers will find it easier to have their passports authenticated when in other countries.
