Question

Hey does anyone know how to verify a persons passport ?

Answer 1

Passports are official government documents, with a number of security features built into the design.  The precise features vary by country and time of issuance.  The people that have a need to verify passports have the training and tools to do so.

If you are wanting to verify a passport for some type of personal or professional relationship based on having met someone, for example through the Internet, be very careful.  Such digital scans that people provide are very easy to manipulate with graphics software like Photoshop, and are rarely legitimate.  More information is required in order to provide a more definitive answer.

Answer 2

If you and I are neighbors, and you're just curious if my claim about my passport is spurious or genuine, you have no legitimate reason to know, hence will have a lot of trouble finding out.

If, however, you think I have entered illegally and have committed a crime, you can contact your local international airport and ask for "legacy immigration." Be prepared to identify yourself. It would be very helpful if you knew my full name and date of birth, but just a name and address may be enough to begin. The more serious the offense, the greater the interest.

Answer 3

a standard passport has the scan reading section below the photo usually(it looks like this >>>> <<<).i don't know about biometric passport.at customs checks whether air,sea,or land they first check this part.but some nationals from some countries do not have this part,because they have the old format.usually if it is absent they go for the visa on the inside pages which carry the information about the person.if they doubt about the passport.they usually go for a more detailed investigation in a specific room at the customs equipped with microscope,scanners.from there they can determined ultimately whether it is a fake or not.
