| Mar 2, 2023 at 9:36 | comment | added | CMaster | user610620 - it's fairly trivial to read your passport yourself. The "machine readable" text is also readable to humans, while the RFID chip can be readily accessed by say, most smartphones. However, according to phoog sometimes there are additional biometrics that are not displayed visually - I'd thought that fingerprints were only encoded when also printed. | |
| Mar 2, 2023 at 2:08 | comment | added | Zach Lipton | Note that the passport office of your country is primarily concerned with issuing passports and has little to do with whether or not you're in good standing in any other country (excepting odd situations such as your passport being revoked because you're a fugitive or something). While there are circumstances in which countries may share certain information, there is no global registry of "violations" known to your passport office. The passport office in, say, Canada has nothing to do with and likely no information about whether a Canadian citizen once overstayed their visa in, say, Thailand. | |

| Mar 1, 2023 at 21:20 | comment | added | phoog | @CMaster that is incorrect. Some passports, for example, hold digital fingerprints in the chip without making those fingerprints available for visual inspection. | |
| Mar 1, 2023 at 20:40 | comment | added | EarlGrey | Ask Tille Kottman. switzerlandtimes.ch/world/… I mean, ask them why a country is so jealous of their banned people list to make such a big fuss when someone finds it out ... | |
| Mar 1, 2023 at 20:06 | comment | added | jcaron | If it were stored in the passport, one could just conveniently lose the passport and be done with the ban. Of course it’s not in the passport. Also remember millions of people have two or more passports. | |
