US Green Card Lottery: Passport Scans Proposed to Curb Fraud

The US government wants people applying for a green card through the lottery to prove their identity.

They are planning to ask for a picture of your passport when you apply.

This is to stop scammers and people who are not who they say they are from getting in.

It worked before: when they asked for passports, there was less cheating.

They will make exceptions for people who cannot get a passport.

They also want to update some language in the rules to match new government rules.

The government is asking for feedback from the public.
