Secure Issuance of Travel Documents
• The passport document itself has become more difficult to alter or counterfeit.
• Criminals now focus on passports issuance process and systems.
• Breeder documents (birth and citizenship certificates) remain a high–risk area in the issuance process.
• It is impossible to eliminate 100% of the risks, but prevention and mitigation measures can reduce the risks.
