However, passport security is not confined to the passport itself: the whole process, beginning with the presentation of the documents needed for a passport to be issued, followed by the collection of the biometric data and ending with checking and ‘matching’ at border control posts, is relevant.
Taču pases drošība nav saistīta tikai ar pašu pasi: ir svarīga visa procedūra, sākot ar pases izdošanai nepieciešamo dokumentu iesniegšanu, tam sekojošo biometrisko datu noņemšanu un, visbeidzot, pārbaudi un salīdzināšanu robežkontroles punktos.
