All packages received by recorded or special delivery are recorded on a database on the date of receipt. There is an audit trail of the subsequent movement of those packages. All applications and their movements are recorded on a case information database. Details of the passports submitted by applicants are recorded in their individual case records on that database. These systems are supported by local manual records recording the movement of passports and any other valuable documents.
