Answer 1

Lucky you..your new passport will probably have a RFID chip allowing the Government to track you anywhere you go.

My advice is to stick your passports in the microwave to disable the chip.. it will still be valid.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

Yes, they change the passport number.

Answer 5

If you mention the lost passport, they would issue the duplicate passport mentioning the old passport number in the new and you can utilise the old passport number if there is any issue pending with it.

Answer 6

Answer 7

yes they do.

Answer 8

Of course, you will get a new (duplicate) passport with a new number.  But the details of your original passport like number, place and date of issue etc will be endorsed on the new one.
