What Is a Passport?

A passport is an official state document that serves as proof of identity for citizens traveling abroad. It contains the owner's personal information such as name, date of birth, nationality, and validity period.

In addition, a passport also contains a visa or entry permit from the country to be visited. This visa determines the purpose and duration of stay in that country, so before you depart, make sure you have checked whether the destination you are visiting requires a visa or not.
