    I cant see a trip 3 years ago being an issue.


    Do passport control even scan the passport ?
    I thought they just checked to see if the passport was a fake, maybe I'm wrong.
  • I know for certain that I had to provide I.D last year for my WCA but for my recent pip assessment I can't recall being asked???

    Passports are now enabled with a chip and yes they are (should) be scanned in Europe, not stamped anymore, stamping is still used outside of Europe along with scanning.
