    Don't worry, everyone; numerous online platforms offer passport verification services. You need to enter your passport number and date of birth, and the system will automatically cross-verify the passport details with an authoritative database to verify the authenticity of the passport. So, you can do it easily without examining it physically, but I have no idea about whether such services are paid or free of cost.

    I would advise you to closely examine the document around the edges and use a UV light or magnifying glass to inspect the inner content. The print needs to be legible and not spotty. Check for any misspellings, unusual colourings, or smudges, as these should not be present. Also, a watermark or any other security considerations must be evident.

      Here is the simple process to verify the authenticity of my passport for work. First, I have uploaded a clear picture of the passport data page, then, through the OCR technology, the details for my passport are extracted, such as document number, expiry date, and issuing country. Then, after this, your data will be verified against the authoritative databases for the verification of accuracy, and then your passport will be checked for holograms, micro prints. Then I provided my video and photo for the biometric verification, although it is optional, and at last, I got my verified, authentic passports with an NFC-enabled device for more security.

    You can verify the authenticity of your passport by physically examining it and looking for security features, such as watermarks or holograms. If the passport is laminated, ensure that the lamination doesn't extend beyond the edges of the pages. Also, pay attention to any unusual page surfaces or variations in image color density.

    Passports are mostly authentic only because they have hidden security features embedded on the pages that are tough to counterfeit. These features can be observed under a UV light and also with the aid of a magnifying glass.

      Here are some of the points through which you can see whether your Indian passport is fake or not. First, you need to see that your indian passport is always in the form of a booklet and contains 30 or 60 pages. Second, you need to verify your personal information with your supporting documents, like your passport number, date of birth, and other essential information. Third, you need to verify your passport type, like what the colour of a passport determines the passport holders, for a maroon passport is used by diplomatic persons, a blue passport is issued to the local public, so these tips will help you to identify your passport type. Fourth, check the bio page of your indian passport, it should be written with original ink, and made with a good paper quality to prevent it from damage, and last, always analyse the passport features, they contain some security hidden codes, threads, and images which will help you to verify that it is an authentic indian passport.
