The world's coolest passports

in #design7 years ago (edited)

While EU citizens’ passports are coloured an inoffensive but indistinct burgundy, the Scandinavian nation’s passports are distinctly finished in white, turquoise or red – and contain a surprising feature that should brighten up proceedings for passport controllers the world over.
The work of Neue Design Studio, which won a competition to redesign the documents and national ID cards in 2014, the passport is based on the theme The Norwegian Landscape.

The surprising reasons behind the colour of your passport
Pages feature minimalist interpretations of the country’s most striking landscapes, and show one of its most mesmerising phenomena only under specific circumstances.

Should airport security staff – or anyone else – shine the passport’s pages under ultraviolet light, the otherwise elusive
Northern Lights will instantly appear as iridescent trails on the paper.

Yes! But Norway is special, they've got a large space for interpretation.
