Passport verification?

Question

how do someone check passport verification, if passport is real or fake?

Answer 1

it has water mark and only immigration computers can read or identify it,,,,,,,

Answer 2

Depends on the reason.  If you suspect someone is in the country with an illegal passport, then call the FBI.

Answer 3

this is what they are working on:

Security and Privacy of the e-Passport

The data stored on the chip is protected from alteration by the latest digital signature technology. As the Department of State implements this new technology, it will include passport features that will protect the security and privacy of passport bearers. We will share more information about these measures once testing is completed. The Department of State will not issue passports incorporating integrated circuits until privacy-related concerns have been addressed.

The Department of State is currently coordinating testing of components for possible use in the new passport. Once testing has ended and a final passport configuration that meets the security and privacy needs of our citizens has been completed, electronic passports will be phased in at all 16 passport issuance locations in the domestic United States.

Answer 4

It depends on a lot of factors.  If you are in the US, the Fraud Prevention Program of the Bureau of Consular Affairs in the State Department is very good at detecting bad documents, including US and foreign passports.  Call them at the general State number, 202-647-4000 or directly at 202-647-4280

Answer 5

They are getting new passports. I am sure that they will have your whole life history chipped in them. I dont think the new ones will be easy to fake.
