Abstract
A passport with an anti-counterfeit ID chip that certifies the identity and the nationality of a passport holder entering and departing a country comprises a passport body having printed thereto a photograph for identifying the passport owner. A particle-like micro ID chip storing at least an identification photograph information of the passport owner comparable with the identification photograph printed on the passport body is embedded in the passport body. Whether a passport is counterfeited or not is judged by comparing the identification photograph printed on the passport body with the photograph information of the passport owner read out from the ID chip and displayed on a screen.
