Camouflage Passport

A camouflage passport is a passport issued in the name of a non-existent country that is intended to look like a real country’s passport.

Such passports are also often sold with several matching documents, including an international driver’s license and similar supporting identity papers.

Camouflage passports are generally issued in names of countries that no longer exist or have changed their name. Others use the names of places or political subdivisions that exist within a real country, but that have never issued and cannot issue passports. Still others are issued in the names of wholly fictitious countries but that typically have a plausible or familiar ring to their names.

Nansen passport is often confused with camouflage passport, but is actually a valid document.

Famous quotes containing the word passport:

    Whenever [Leonard Bernstein] entered or exited a country he would fill in on his passport form not composer or conductor, but musician. Of course people in the press spent a lot of Lenny’s life telling him what he should have done; he should have been a concert pianist, he should have composed more.... And people wouldn’t let him live his own life. But he created his own career, in his own image.
    John Mauceri (b. 1945)
