If you get in person, they put in your passport right. So what if you lose it or need a new one. Can we ask them to email a digital version as well when we apply, or how would we get a new one…

TLDR : Answer Summary

When you receive your visa in person, it's recommended to keep a record of your passport and visa information in case of loss. Suggestions include taking a picture of the barcode in your passport and keeping a copy of the original PDF in a safe place for future reference.
