Then you cannot go to ... um, somewhere in North America I think, and
show your non-existant passport Manoj in person anyway.

FWIW, when you go to another Schengen country you still have to
_bring_ your passport; you just don't have to show it at the border.
At least that's what they tell us in Denmark.

Of if you are hospitalized or have a 24/7-on-call job that prevents
you from going to show stuff to Manoj in person? Tough luck. The
