Direct answer: Report the new number and keep the old passport if it contains visas. Update may be done with renewal or separately.
Who this applies to: Anyone with a new passport during renewal.
Practical steps: 1) copy identity pages of both passports; 2) attach new one; 3) report change; 4) bring originals; 5) verify matching data.
Documents to keep: Old and new passports, receipt, permit and consular statement if needed.
Verifiable timing and costs: No single national fee is verified for every update; pay only what the official route requests.
Exceptions and special cases: For a name change, attach the act and translation/legalisation if requested.
If the procedure stalls: If the office cannot link it, request written annotation and keep the old document.
Practical example: A new Tunisian passport is attached with the old one so the Questura links both numbers.
