The need to combat the circulation of illicit travel documents has become a paramount concern for nations worldwide. Criminal organizations and individuals with nefarious intentions exploit the vulnerabilities of cross-border travel to engage in illegal activities. To address this pressing issue, countries have joined hands to develop and implement international efforts aimed at curbing the circulation of fraudulent passports.
INTERPOL’s Global Platform
The International Criminal Police Organization, commonly known as INTERPOL, serves as a linchpin in the global fight against fake passports. Interpol maintains a comprehensive database containing information on lost and stolen travel documents reported by member countries. This extensive platform enables real-time sharing of critical data, empowering border control agencies worldwide to identify and intercept individuals attempting to use fraudulent documents.
