SEF Portugal has announced a new Portuguese electronic passport will include a braille spelling , an innovative measure in the European Union that will allow visually impaired citizens to identify the name, number and expiration date of the document.
This new functionality of the Portuguese electronic passport was presented during the ceremony that marked the 42 years of the Aliens and Borders Service .
There are several countries that are working on this project, but Portugal was the first European country to have the passport with this type of spelling in full operation.
Braille spelling integrates a policy of equal opportunities among citizens.
