Answer

Normally, you present your passport for someone to see.

"Produce your passport" is awkward and should never be said.  It could possibly be said in a legal court of law if a judge were to order your lawyer to "produce" your passport for examination or as evidence.

Answer

In most cases it is the same; obviously, if you manufacture passports then only one verb works (produce).
