Do I need to register my passport for EastESIM activation?

Updated April 22, 2026

One of the biggest advantages of choosing EastESIM is avoiding the often cumbersome local registration processes. Many Asian countries, like India or China, have strict regulations requiring passport scans and even biometric data for physical SIM card purchases. With EastESIM, there's absolutely no need for passport registration or fingerprint scans. Your eSIM is activated digitally and seamlessly, allowing you to bypass queues and bureaucratic hurdles at the airport. This means you can land in Mumbai or Beijing and be instantly connected, ready to explore.
