Passport. There is evidence of passage documents far back in time, but the formal and regulated issuing of passports originates from King Henry V in 1414. The passports are a means of mobility for travelers, but authorities can also increase control of “unwanted” travelers. Thus, over time, passports have not only caused barriers for travelers, but also and importantly created opportunities due to easy legitimization. Passport standardization came about in 1980, and since 2006, many countries have started to supply them with chips. Biometric evidence for passports includes fingerprints or iris recognition
