| Oct 15, 2014 at 6:53 | comment | added | jwenting | combined with some good forgery skills (or a supply of blank passports, say stolen from a printer or warehouse), it would make it a lot easier to create a fake passport. No more need to risk having a passport rejected because the number comes up as a fake. | |
| Oct 15, 2014 at 6:00 | comment | added | David Z | @NateEldredge perhaps so (I didn't find that question while searching), although I am specifically asking about just number itself, not a copy of the passport. No birthday, no home address, no full name, etc. | |
