A passport is a travel document issued by the government of a particular country to its citizens in order to verify the identity and nationality of the holder for the purpose of international travel.
International passports are small booklets that contain the holder's name, place of birth, date of birth, the date of issue, date of expiry, passport number, photo and signature. There are different types of passports depending on the status of the passport holder in their home country.
The ordinary passport is also known as a regular passport or tourist passport. This is the type of passport that is issued frequently to citizens of a country and allows for international travel. This passport is usually valid for 10 years.
A collective passport is issued to a group, such as school children or tour groups travelling abroad together.
An epassport- also called electronic passport is a regular passport booklet that contains an electronic chip in the cover. This electronic chip contains the passport holder's information and also provides an extra layer of security against passport fraud.
An official passport is a type of passport that is issued to government employees. This passport allows officials in the destination country know that the holder is entering the country on official business or representing their country in an official capacity.
