Every step this one needs, in order. The ones it needs directly are marked.

Looking a name up is the same search that checks whether it is free. A taken name answers with its passport.

Check two things before you act on it: the wallet is the one you expect, and the owner is the one you expect.

A name that is not registered has no passport. Nothing is shown for it, and nothing should be sent to it.
