There’s nothing fun about passports, right? In fact, the little passport book is probably the most serious piece of documentation a person might get; it’s your identity, and without it, you can’t even buy booze in most of the countries.
The Canadian passport has potentially earned the unexpected distinction of being the coolest passport to pull out at a rave. The pages of the new passport (released in mid-2013) are covered in fun and colorful UV-reactive hidden images that can only be seen under a blacklight.
The “secret” UV images are cleverly incorporated into the parts of each page that are visible under normal lighting so that the two complement each other when seen under UV light. These images, along with a biometric chip in the back of the passport, are all security measures designed to ensure that duplicating or forging a passport would be as tricky and complicated as possible.
Now, scroll down below to check the cool photos of the Canadian passport for yourself! We’ve also added another passport that is actually a fun flip book, just to prove that your ID bearer shouldn’t be oh so serious as you might think!

Awesome, Canada!!! The Slovenian passport has a similar thing (horseback rider) like the Finnish one at the end.
Sweden has also updated their passport design and looks similar to this passport under a uv light. They do this to avoid fake passports
Many of the newer passports look like this now. Sweden's recently renewed their passport design and looks similar to this. It harder to fake
I think it is perfection!! not much else is these days.. so Bravo to the designer!!
That's Awesome! Perfect timing as mine is due for renewal next year.
Hooray - something we can be really proud of. We've been a bit short of that sort of thing lately!!
There is no picture about native owners of this land. No Red Skins nor Inuits.It's all white. Even under UV. m@B neospasmin.blox.pl
why there is none of native Canadian(Indian or Inuit) picture in this passport? This pass is more white than colourfull. Under UV even.
the last 10 passports have been all native american pictures. I actually prefer when they use a cullture everyone Shares.
