To prevent secure document tampering, counterfeiting, and fraud, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services started producing last Oct. 24 a new security-enhanced U.S. travel document, which is a booklet that looks similar to a U.S. passport and serves dual purposes. The travel document can serve in place of:<\/p>\n
\t\u2022\tForm I-327, Permit to Reenter the United States: Lawful permanent residents use the Reentry Permit to return from temporary travel outside of the United States and, in some cases, may use a Reentry Permit for travel in place of a passport; and<\/p>\n
\t\u2022\tForm I-571, Refugee Travel Document: Those with refugee or asylum status use a Refugee Travel Document if they wish to temporarily travel outside of the United States and, in some cases, may use a Refugee Travel Document for travel in place of a passport.<\/p>\n
\t\u2022\tThe new travel document will include a variety of secure features:<\/p>\n
\t\u2022\tRedesigned booklet cover<\/p>\n
\t\u2022\tFour montages containing three images, each of notable U.S. architecture, used throughout the booklet<\/p>\n
\t\u2022\tA combination of first-, second- and third-level security features (overt, covert and forensic)<\/p>\n
\t\u2022\tOvert is something you can see with the eye, such as the central image of the Statue of Liberty.<\/p>\n
\t\u2022\tCovert is something that requires a tool, such as a magnifying glass, to see fine detail artwork.<\/p>\n
\t\u2022\tForensic is something that requires laboratory examination.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prior versions of the travel document will remain valid until their expiration date. (PR)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
