A passport is an official document that serves as a means of identity which primarily verifies one's citizenship and is issued by the government.
It contains personal data like the holder's name, date of birth, identification number and nationality.

It also contains a photo and signature for proper Identification. With a passport, you can travel internationally, and take part in a range of activities, like education, tourism and even business knowing fully well that you are guided and protected by this document.

Passport as we all know is a document that allows individuals to cross boarders and enter foreign countries legally.
It serves many purposes like allowing international travels, as a means of identification and also a document of one's Information. It also ensures the security and safety of every traveler as there is an assurance you are being protected by the security agencies of other countries in as much as you have a passport.

These passports can also be used domestically to register and apply for government services, open bank accounts and even prove identity and age when buying age restricted items.
Passport is a very useful document internationally and i can confidently say that it has regulated so many international activities.

Back in the days, there was nothing like a passport but passage letters which were formerly issued by rulers to individuals traveling across their territories. These letters served as a means of protection and identification as you will be granted access to other regions while possessing it. There were not many personal details unlike today which contains even your date of Birth. Earlier in the days, you must have this passage letter for you to be allowed into other territories.

In the 20th century, things began to change and a passport was introduced in the united Kingdom as a means of identification in 1915 during World war I which helped to identify friends from the foe. In commitment to regulate the international travels, other countries began to make it a must have document for every individual traveling across their borders. As traveling became part of economic growth, passports are being considered a legal identification document which today, can be taken anywhere across the globe.
