when you get your passport renewed is the book number the same
I am about to travel. However, I need to renew my passport. Will the new one have the same number as the old passport? When renewing your passport, please note that the number assigned to a particular passport is for that document only. Upon renewal, your new passport will have a different number. It is, therefore, recommended that you plan ahead if you intend to travel soon or apply for a visa as your passport number is required for the visa-application process.
