Usually, real passports have identifying marks that can be seen under a blue light. These are security features that the government use in order to make sure that the passport is valid and not a fake.

Do customs know if you change your name on a passport?

In the United States, tampering with a Passport is a Federal Offence - a felony and it WILL get you jail time in this post-9/11 era. Any Customs Agent worth his salt will spot tampering and you will be detained. With US Passports you would almost have to destroy the passport in order to alter information since it is encased in laminate plastic, so in a sense, yes, ANYONE will be able to tell. A piece of advice: DON'T ALTER YOUR PASSPORT!!! In the US a Passport is the property of the US State Department, not the individual and it can be revoked at any time.


How do you verify someone else passport?

you must take it to the airport, try any big airline, and just ask them to scan it to make sure it's valid for an upcoming trip. tell them you paid off your child support in full recently, and want to make sure you upcoming trip won't have any surprises in store. This is what the people at the state department told me to do because they can't verify over the phone. it is what I will do today myself with NWA.
