Return Passport

[Pattal]

Does anybody know which country does not return the old passport when you renew your old passport?
Some counties return the old passport some other doesn’t return the old passport and they keep it?
Thanks

It will vary by country, although many countries will invalidate your old passport and return it to you. If you are worried about not getting your old one back then, before you renew it for a new one, photocopy the entire passport - all pages from cover to cover - and take this with you to the interview. I know it's not perfect, but just explain that your country doesn't provide you with your old passport (if, in fact, this is true) and then offer up the photocopy of your expired passport and note that it was copied just before you renewed it.
