How to Locate an Individual's Passport Number
A passport gives a United States citizen proof of identification when traveling abroad with the US government. On a passport a citizen is identified with a passport number. This is an official form of photo identification. You can only obtain this information with the physical passport. However, if you have copies made of your passport in case you misplace the passport you can use these as well to prove you have one.
