Which one is better?
I am quite confused whether to use a verb at the end of the sentence or not in this case: "Every person is different and every person knows where is his or her passion".
OR
"Every person is different and every person knows where his or her passion is".

Could you please explain me this?

Answer

"Every person is different and every person knows where his or her passion is".
This one is correct.

The verb only changes position when you're asking a question. If you're just making a statement, the word order doesn't change.

Ex.
His or her passion is.... => Where is his or her passion? (the verb is before the subject)
His or her passion is... => ...where his or her passion is. (the word order doesn't change)
I am going... => Where am I going? (the verb is before the subject)
I am going... => ...where I am going. (the word order doesn't change).

Answer

If you're going to use where it would be better to say,  "Every person is different and each knows where his or her passion lies"
