Recall how Mossad entered Dubai to kill Hamas official using cloned passports of Israeli civilians? That op used passports the Israeli gov controlled so not quite the same. But using a cloned passport to gain entry when you're on a checklist or don't want real identity known...

They can be verified if they have a signed chip - but the only place they actually ever get verified is at certain gov border crossings. Every other use of the passports does not involve verification - just visible inspection of photo/name

That makes sense - but the chip cannot be cloned either, so doesn't that mean that the numbers are not that useful, because you can just forge any name/number combination?

Nope. I mean, yes, there is, but in practice that only happens rarely and if foul play is suspected. Verification at the border is usually purely a physical inspection, and if they are really serious a check against a list of stolen docs. Which makes using stolen credentials dumb
