		A passport is a formal identity document or certification issued by a national government that identifies the holder as a national of a particular state, and requests permission, in the name of the sovereign or government of the issuing country, for the bearer to be permitted to enter and pass through other countries.
		A passport is usually necessary for international travel, as it normally needs to be shown at a country's border, although there exist agreements whereby the citizens of some countries can enter some other countries with other identity documents.
		Machine readable passports have a standardised presentation, bearing a zone where some of the information otherwise written in textual form is written as strings of alphanumeric characters, printed in a manner suitable for optical character recognition – that is, reading by a machine.

		Passport forgery and fraud has kept pace with technological advances, in a progression from one-off manuscripts to artefacts that are primarily aimed at transferring information to networked databases representing an electronic border against terrorists, drug traffickers and other offenders.
		Most passports were for a specific journey (albeit one that was often vaguely described and might extend over several years), in a letter format with a rudimentary description of physical features and handwritten endorsement by an attaché or consul representing the country to be visited.
		There is some acceptance in international law and statecraft that a refugee is not expected to travel on or use a passport from the country of origin for identification because the agency responsible for passports forms part of the government of which the refugee is fearful or which cannot protect the individual.

		The Republic of Lomar describes itself as a "quasi-state" that offers citizenship and passports to refugees and others, in a humanitarian effort meant to be similar to the "Nansen Passport" project that provided passage documents for war prisoners and refugees after WWI.
		If you are interested in seeing what the passports of other countries look like, this guy has images of most them, including the spurious and the curious.
		It's not just the fact that this makes our passport twice as expensive as others, it's the hassle of having to reapply (new photos, new signatures certifying you are who you say you are, etc.) twice as often.

	A Nansen Passport
		Yes, I know, my British passport is European but the thing is, I’m thinking of burning it.
		I couldn’t really become a Spaniard (nobody would believe me), my grandmother wasn’t Irish and (inexplicably) I can’t get a common or garden European one; so all there is left is one of those stateless Nansen passports they issued after the First World War.
		The Nansen passport by the way, the stuff of John Buchan books, was invented by Fridtjof Nansen, Norway’s greatest man. It was designed for stateless refugees.

		For many years I traveled on a "Nansen Passport " for stateless persons issued by a Notary Public in New York State that looked like a passport*, since, obviously, I did not recognize the then Hungarian Government installed by Soviet arms.
		When I went there on a Jan Ignacz Paderewski Fellowship in 1961, they issued me a special visa in beautiful calligraphy that was a "stand alone" document something almost as big as a bed-sheet (I am exaggerating!).
		I was serving UNTAC there as Head of Electoral in Pursat province (where Pol Pot's mother lived) when the Hungarian Consul brought me my Hungarian passport that the new regime in Hungary issued as rehabilitation to 1956 political exiles.
