What does your nation's passport look like?

[Huswyae]

Ours looks like this



The front cover is in yellow, the national colour, then it has the nation name and the word "passport" in Huswyae's 3 official languages (shown in the order of English, German, Huswyaen).
On the right is the first page, which gives the info on what the passport grants its holders. Please note that Huswyae won't accept passports that have holes punched in them (like some nations do to their visitor's passports). When you visit Huswyae you will get a stamp, in yellow, that says "Huswyae: In manus de libera" with a picture of the Erdes 2 tower.

There are four types of passports available in the Federal States. These are: normal passports, diplomatic passports, official passports and emergency passports.

Normal passports are issued to citizens of the Federal States to enable them to travel to other countries. They contain the name of the country in both English and Palowean, the flag of the Federal States, the word "Passport" in both English and Palowean and the biometric symbol. They have a blue cover.

Diplomatic passports are issued to diplomats and ambassadors of the Federal States, to enable them to travel to other countries to perform their diplomatic and ambassadorial duties. They contain the name of the country in both English and Palowean, the flag of the Federal States, the words "Diplomatic Passport" in both English and Palowean and the biometric symbol. They have a red cover.

Official passports are issued to government employees and their accompanying dependents for work-related travel. They contain the name of the country in both English and Palowean, the flag of the Federal States, the words "Official Passport" in both English and Palowean and the biometric symbol. They have a green cover.

The final type of passport available is the emergency passport. These are issued to citizens whose passports have been lost or stolen, without the time to obtain a replacement. They contain the name of the country in both English and Palowean, the flag of the Federal States and the words "Emergency Passport" in both English and Palowean. As these are only temporary passports that can be used for only one trip into and out of the Federal States, they lack biometric details about the citizen and as such, do not feature a biometric symbol. They have a grey cover.

Absolutely fantastic
And very accurate

[Victorious Decepticons]

We have no such things. It's not like anyone can mistake a 100-foot-tall, sapient, transforming war robot for a citizen of somewhere else. If some official manages the feat of being that daft, the Decepticon will soon make his origin clear when he cleans out that place's refinery(ies).

If one of us decides to go somewhere in an android body instead of openly, he's probably not going to be interested in saying he's from here. In that case, he'll just forge up something more acceptable to the nation he's sneaking into.

As might be expected, no passports are required to get into Victorious Decepticons. It's not like we can't tell that some extraterrestrial is a foreigner! We do warn that we aren't used to looking way down at the 5-6 foot range for living obstacles, though, so be careful you don't get stepped on or kicked by unaware pedestrians.

What if there was an autobot though?

[Devernia]

Devernia accepts both regular passports and e-passports.

* The use of a full-colour emblem on the front cover is an additional anti-counterfeiting measure.

[The Uncle Happy]

Ordinary citizens do not get passports. This way, no nation will take them in if they manage to escape (except nations that are actively facilitating illegal defection by harboring fugitives).

[Victorious Decepticons]

We have no such things. It's not like anyone can mistake a 100-foot-tall, sapient, transforming war robot for a citizen of somewhere else.

What if there was an autobot though?

In our universe, we exterminated all of the Autobots (who were trying to exterminate us first, by the way - it just didn't work out for them). This is where the "Victorious" in our name comes from.

Ordinary citizens do not get passports. This way, no nation will take them in if they manage to escape (except nations that are actively facilitating illegal defection by harboring fugitives).

Actively facilitating illegal anything is fairly common for us, and like we said, we don't care about documents anyway. Your citizens are very much welcome to join our slave biological labor force as long as they have no record of active opposition to your government. We don't like rebels. But those who are just sneaking off? We have ways of ensuring that they will remain at their new jobs...

"Harboring fugitives"
That's why fugitives come here, though granted, they are usually trying to flee the law and possible long prison sentences or execution when they resort to the option of hiding in our mine labor system.

[Estrago]

Estragoneese authorities issue four types of passports, the first three mentioned are available as biometric or non-biometric versions. Temporary passports are always non-biometric.

STANDARD PASSPORTS are issued to citizens as means of identification and to allow them to travel to other countries (where ID cards are not accepted).

DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS are issued to members of federal government, some MPs, high-ranking judges, diplomats and some people working abroad for the Department of Foreign Affairs, as well as their spouses (and in some cases children).

OFFICIALS' PASSPORTS is issued to persons working for the government and can only be used for work-related travels (as opposed to diplomatic passports).

TEMPORARY PASSPORTS are issued to citizens who urgently need a passport and cannot wait the standard processing time of 10 working days. They are valid for no longer than 12 months and are recollected upon the holders return to Estrago.

DESIGN. All four passports are issued in a 88mm x 125mm format. STANDARD PASSPORTS are red and feature a slightly raised (relief print) and darkend rear half of the national dragon on their covers. The front half of the dragon is printed on the reverse of the booklet, so that two passports put side-by-side give the complete image of the dragon.
DIPLOMATIC and OFFICAL'S passports are blue, but follow the same design principles as the standard passport. Words on all three types are printed in white. If the passport is biometric it will feature the corresponding symbol.
EMERGENCY PASSPORTS feature an additional white ribbon covering the top quarter.

[Fatatatutti]

Our passport is a red booklet with "Passport Fatatatutti" and a large pineapple in gold.

We also offer forged passports for most nations at competitive prices.

[The Arthurian Isles]

---

The current issue of Arthurian passports has been distributed since 1195 A.R. (2005 AD) exclusively by the Federal Government. It was designed by the native graphic design firm Leaf to replace the half-century old design which preceded it. The passport has a distinctive navy blue cover embellished with grey-blue additions, reflecting the national colours of Arthuria. On the upper right-hand side of the passport is the Arthurian crest, the Federal Raven emblazoned on a shield, effectively marking the passport as an official government document. The passport is biometric (indicated as such by a marking on its inside cover) and all wording appears in Arthurian, English and Brail.

Two passports are issued: 'ordinary passports' are granted to all Arthurian citizens, and 'diplomatic passports' are issued to those travelling on official government business. Diplomatic passports differ from ordinary passports in their colour scheme; unlike the dark-blue, their cover is off-white. Emergency passports can be issued by Arthurian embassies and consulates and take the form of a card rather than a booklet.

The interior of the latest Arthurian passport was also designed by Leaf. It features representations of the Arthurian landscape in minimalist geometric forms. The below example depicts the southern mountains of Steinhald at the entrance to one of its famous fjords. When shone under a UV light the picture reveals a 'hidden image', the Southern Lights. This security feature appears throughout the passport; other examples include the addition of manmade bridges to mountain valley scenes or flowing rivers through forest pictures.

The passport's identification page includes the holder's photograph, the passport's type, the code for Arthuria as an issuing state, the passport number, the holder's surname and given names, their nationality (which includes their cantonal affiliation if desired), their height, their date of birth, their gender identity, their place of birth (though this can be removed if desired), the government issuing authority, the dates of issue and expiry and the holder's signature. The Arthurian passport is one of few which does not include a 'request of passage' page.
