A new service has appeared on the website and application of the State Services that allows you to check the authenticity of a passport.
It shows whether the document is valid or not. If it is fake or its expiration date has expired, then the message “invalid” will appear, and if it is fake, then “data not found” will be written on the screen. Reconciliation takes place with the Ministry of Internal Affairs database.
Such a public service may appear before a transaction, concluding an agreement, or in other places when it is necessary to determine exactly what kind of person is in front of you.
