Photos: The new face of e-passports

The first e-passports for the U.K. are now being issued by the Foreign Office in Washington, D.C. The price of a U.K. passport is 51 pounds, reflecting a 9-pound fee increase to cover the cost of implementing anti-fraud measures.

The cover of the U.K. e-passport looks only slightly different from its predecessor.
