As I mentioned in my last post, the important step once it is discovered that your passport has been stolen is to report it immediately so it can be cancelled. Failure to do so can lead to enormous problems not only for you, but possibly for the government as well.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this thread, their is a vast industry of underground passport sales and tracking. As anyone who has received a new passport in the past five years knows, passports are not just folded cardboard books anymore. They are high-tech devices with built in transmitter chips that can be electronically read and transmitted from various points around the world. The entire point of this is to deter passport fraud.
However, even with these high tech devices, passport fraud and forgery is still a big issue. Once an identity thief has an actual passport, it is much easier to try and use this actual passport as a way to create a forged one - on the back of the actual person from whom it was stolen.
