• there is no space left in the valid international passport for affixing seals;
• a citizen often leaves the country;
• the first foreign passport is held at the embassy, ​​and the second is used to travel abroad;
• a separate visa is affixed to both passports (for transit through one country and stay in another);
• the countries to be visited are warring, so a mark on visiting one of them is undesirable for opening a visa to another.

The new version looks like a paper book. contains a microchip on which the personal data of the owner is imprinted. As a result, forging such a document is much more difficult than the old sample.
