How to Buy Fake Passports

Passports are government-issued travel documents which verify the identity of foreign citizens. While passports are a necessity for making large purchases, renting property, and getting work, they’re also often targeted by criminals as a tool to commit fraud, identity theft and illegal immigration. Thankfully, governments regularly update the design of passports to reduce criminals’ ability to produce counterfeit ones.

However, black market vendors can alter passport images and information to better match any client’s sex, skin color and approximate date of birth. Furthermore, they can create holographic overlays which cannot be duplicated using modern photocopiers; additionally they use inks which make unauthorized copies difficult to detect by the inspector’s eye.

Sellers of fake passports can also produce biometric chips that are undetectable by scanners at airports and border crossings, along with authentic-looking visa stamps and border entry stamps that will be added automatically when the document is inspected by officials. As opposed to real passports, fake ones are easy to conceal in a bag without drawing too much attention if their owner’s name doesn’t appear on passenger manifests – although Customs and Border Protection may still discover them when individuals attempt entry into the United States; prosecution for Passport Fraud could result in prosecution under federal law.
