Passports

A passport is a government-issued document that permits the holder to cross international borders. Most passports formally establish the holder's identity with a sealed photograph, indicate nationality, and request safe passage for the traveler. A passport may contain one or more visas, which are endorsements permitting the holder to travel in a certain foreign country. Although passports have been used for centuries, they did not become compulsory in many countries until after World War I. Regulations governing their use were simplified and relaxed after World War II, when worldwide tourism became common. Below are articles that provide information about passports and travel visas.
