1. Passport checks · 3 hours
Assessment map: 3 mock questions and 3 final knowledge questions for this unit.
Learning outcomes
- U1.1 · Match traveller identity and document data against a booking.
- U1.2 · Identify validity, condition and name discrepancies requiring verification.

Create a passenger document-check brief
Gather the minimum facts required for a relevant check.
Check consistency and protect document copies
Accurate identity checks and secure handling are part of the same workflow.

One booking can require several different passenger checklists.

A pending status is useful only when someone knows what to do next.
