How Do I Verify the Authenticity of My Passport?

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.

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.
