no stamp in my passport when i left EU. is it normal?

Indlæg af computer » 22.07.2018 01:23:43

last week I flew from DK to Frankfurt to non EU country. when I transferred in Frankfurt to go through passport control, the policeman didn't stamp on my passport. i asked him on the spot why? He said: no need to do so since I hold Danish residence permit card.(temporary one)

and when i enter my own country, i went through the automated passport control with machine. no stamp in the passport either.

So, there is no any records in my passport about this trip.

1) Is it normal?

2) Is the boarding pass enough proof for showing Danish authorities about my entry to my home country? Is it possible Danish authorities are able to check it in their system?

I guess you have a biometric passport which has a chip that contains your information in it. So I think they have your record once you're going through passport control.

No, that is not normal. I also have a biometric passport and I get it stamped all the time. Anyways, it doesn't matter. If you ever need to explain, just say they didn't stamp it, after all it is not your fault.

my passport is biometric passport.

I googled to get to know that Frankfort airport police doesn't stamp passport if the person has residence card.

if someday in future, Danish authorities want to check my entry-exit record, how can I proof them? is the boarding pass enough?

My husbands passport was not stamped either when he left Danmark for vacation outside EU. There is however a stamp for entering Danmark when we returned.

update:
It says here that the passport is scanned both when you leave Schengen and when you enter. So it is registered
