Want to enter the United States through Visa Waiver Program but consulate-issued ePassport doesn't have a chip

score:12

Accepted answer

The electronic chip in an e-passport is read by radio waves (RFID). It is embedded in the cover or one of the pages, and it is not normally visible to the casual observer. In particular, there are no visible contact points as there are with credit cards that carry a chip.

As long as your passport bears the e-passport symbol, you can use it with the visa waiver program.
