Passport correction in Delhi

A passport is a travel document issued by the country's government that confirms the identity and nationality of its bearer for international travel. Standard passports include the holder's name, birthplace, and date of birth, as well as a photograph, signature, and other identifying information. In addition, passports increasingly incorporate biometric information onto a microchip integrated into the paper, making them machine-readable and impossible to duplicate. 

A passport identifies nationality but not necessarily citizenship or the passport holder's place of abode. A passport bearer is usually allowed to enter the nation that issued the passport, however, some persons who qualify for a passport may not be full citizens with the right of residence. A passport is a document that certifies identification and nationality; holding the document does not give any privileges, such as protection by the consulate of the issuing country, but it may imply that the possessor has such rights.

Some passports attest to the holder's position as a diplomat or other official, entitling them to rights and benefits derived from international treaties, such as protection from arrest or prosecution.

Many nations usually allow entrance to holders of other countries' passports, with some requiring a visa as well, although this is not an inherent right. Many other additional criteria may apply, such as the holder not being likely to become a public charge for financial or other reasons and not having been convicted of a crime. When one nation does not recognise another or is in a disagreement with it, it may restrict the use of their passport for travel to that other country, or it may deny entrance to holders of that other country's passports, and occasionally to those who have, for example, visited the other country.
