Answer 6

Send it back to the Passport Office

Answer 7

Well if you want to do 'the right thing' , you will send it back to them with a cover note explaining that they sent you someone else's passport,

BUT

If you're not bothered, sell it. there's a black market for this sort of thing and you can get a few grand from someone who is desperate enough for it.

Answer 8

Post it to the issuing authority

Answer 9

One of the passport is false...you can't even argue about being the case of homonymous for a passport.

Answer 10

bring it back to the post office and inform them that you have recieved someones passport.

Try to picture yourself as being the one who has had their passport sent to the wrong address....

Answer 11

If it's nothing to do with you just hand it in at the local Police Station.
