The People's Republic of China passport[a] (commonly referred to as the Chinese passport)[b] is a passport issued to citizens of the People's Republic of China for the purpose of international travel, and entitles its bearer to the protection of China's consular officials overseas.
On 1 July 2011, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched a trial issuance of e-passports for individuals conducting public affairs work overseas on behalf of the Chinese government.[3][4] The face, fingerprints, and other biometric features of the passport holder is digitized and stored in pre-installed contactless smart chip,[5][6] along with "the passport owner's name, sex and personal photo as well as the passport's term of validity and [the] digital certificate of the chip".[7] Ordinary biometric passports were introduced by the Ministry of Public Security on 15 May 2012.[8] As of January 2015, all new passports issued by China are biometric e-passports, and non-biometric passports are no longer issued.[7]
In 2012, over 38 million Chinese citizens held ordinary passports, comprising only 2.86 percent of the total population at the time.[9] In 2014, China issued 16 million passports, ranking first in the world, surpassing the United States (14 million) and India (10 million).[10] The number of ordinary passports in circulation rose to 120 million by October 2016, which was approximately 8.7 percent of the population.[11] As of April 2017 to date, China had issued over 100 million biometric ordinary passports.[12]
