Maldives becomes 111th member of ICAO Public Key Directory, strengthening ePassport security
The Maldives has become the 111th member of the International Civil Aviation Organization's Public Key Directory, with its accession formalised at a ceremony in Montréal on July 10, 2026. The move is aimed at strengthening the electronic verification of Maldivian ePassports and improving international travel, though it does not automatically alter visa requirements or guarantee faster clearance.
