The passport number has its unique ID. And, the government treats every new passport as a completely fresh, unique document even if none of your personal details have changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you renew your passport, the old one is canceled for travel. And Indians get new passports with different numbers after the renewal process.  If there is a valid visa on the old passport, you can use the already-issued visa by carrying the old passport along with new passport. Let\u2019s see exactly what happens, why it matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Passport number change because of these reasons:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Changing the number keeps passports safe and easy to track.

Your old passport is returned to you with a \u201cCancelled\u201d stamp. This makes it invalid for travel, but it remains a valid reference document for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Past travel history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Existing visas that were issued before the renewal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Any visas linked to the old passport number remain valid until their expiry.
