For the attention of the Passport Office.

Can you please confirm that passport number: G7740122<3GHA9804245F1905098 - ISSUED IN ACCRA on June 2016 is registered to Miss Mery Clark from Kumasi and that it is genuine. Also if there has been a visa application to come to the UK please?

I have a scanned copy of the passport and it looks genuine but I need to know for immigration reasons please.

Thank you
Paul London

That being said the African continent is well known for Romance and other scams.

Anything from Accra is suspect. Is she wanting $$. First hint!

This is a bet I'd gladly take as a non-gambler... I'd bet good money its fake and "she" doesn't actually exist.. not as the person in the photo, or that name in any case.

The best fraud use a real passport, sometimes with the picture photo shopped. They steal them, buy them from local girls, or just get copies of ones from others.

The best fraud places, have IT departments that can make a passport better than the real ones.

So no, there is no way to check it. But one can almost always know it is fake, if they are asking for money
