For the vast majority of international travelers, a passport is a necessity. But why?

If I were going out of the country - let’s say to sunny Bolivia - my whole trip would have hinged on one vital thing: my passport. But what is this thing, exactly? Why do I need it to travel?
The first question has a pretty clear-cut answer. A passport is a document issued by a government that verifies your identity and gives you the right to travel under its protection.
The word “passport” comes from “passeport” - a Middle French phrase from around the 1500s. However, the idea of a passport is positively ancient. You can find evidence of state-sponsored travel documents dating from as far back as 450 BCE.
Since about the 1980s, most passports have been regulated by a department of the United Nations called the International Civil Aviation Organization, or ICAO.
So why do you need one? Ultimately it goes down to proof of nationality. For example, let’s say I was caught up in a vast conspiracy and had to travel to the Vatican. That happens, right?
Anyhow, I’m flying into Italy and I have to present some sort of proof that I’m really coming from where I say I’m coming from. Otherwise, any old super villain with a plausible Yankee accent could stroll off the runway pretending to be an American, right?
So possessing a passport is like having your country of origin vouch for you, assuring other nations that you are in fact the person you say you are.
Keep in mind, however, that possession of a valid passport alone doesn’t guarantee your entrance. Countries allow visitors at their own discretion, which means that, in theory, they can refuse entry to pretty much anyone, at any time.
So, even if you have a valid passport, make sure to check the entry policies of the country you’re visiting BEFORE you hop on the plane.
And not everyone’s happy with the passport system. In “The Invention of the Passport”, Professor John Torpey argues that it is inherently a monopoly of the state, meaning a private company like, say, HowStuffWorks, couldn’t just slap my mug in a little book and send me off to Japan. Religious organizations can’t do this, either.
Not only do countries control the passport system, but the issuing country can revoke your passport at any time. In clear terms, this system is about as “big government” as you can get.
So there you have it. In theory, almost every single person on the globe needs a passport, or some sort of official document, to travel. This “official document” could be something for an individual, or it could be an agreement between specific countries. At one point or another, there’s no other way to legally travel. Virtually everyone needs something like this.
Ahh - but… did you notice how I said “almost every person” and “virtually everyone?”
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. There is one person in the world who can travel freely and legally without a passport or other documents. And that person is… Paul, could we get a drumroll please?
THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND! True story. British passports are issued in the name of the Queen; therefore it’s not necessary for her to have one. The rest of the family has to possess a passport, though. Even the princes, William and Harry.

I have a german passport and grew up living in Indonesia, Iran, England and India. I still remember when I played for a football (or soccer) club in India and we were invited to participate in a tournament in Singapore. Since I was the only german citizen in our team, literally everyone had to apply for a visa in advance except for me, because german citizens enjoy a very high travel freedom and barely have to worry about visa issues when travelling somewhere. I could just book a ticket to Thailand for fun and spontaneously fly there, which citizens from Pakistan or Afghanistan for example can't do because they require a visa first^^

I have two passports! One of the US and one of Brazil. The only issue I really get is when I have to renew the Brazilian one while living in the States. Rather than just filling a form and paying the fee via mail like you do with the American passport, you have to go to the closest Brazilian consulate (most likely the one in your state's capital) and request a renewal, which they will then give you every excuse in the book to prevent you from renewing it.

Actually there are several ways to travel without a passport. When military people are travel by commercial means they are not required to possess, and in some instances they may be chastised for using a personal passport if they are traveling for military business; they carry travel orders, that accompanied by their military ID works in the place of a passport. I believe this is consistent with non-military Federal Government employees as well.

Does the president have to have a passport? The other question I have is even though the queen doesn't have to have a passport to get back into England would she have to have a passport to get into another country? Could another country just say sorry you need a passport or we're not letting you in? If this is the case and the queen does not need a passport and she can fly to any country in the world no matter what the country is then this would really state that the queen is the most powerful person in the world I know they say that the u.s. president is the most powerful person in the world but that would technically mean the queen is.

So could people still refuse the Queen's entry to their country?

@itsalongday 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, she has no power in most countries. They would let her enter, though, because she is the Queen: not likely to commit a crime, get a job in that country or go into hiding. Usually she also does not just come up to the border control and try to enter but arrives after everything is planned, so the lack of passport should not be an issue.

And anywhere else she travels only as state guest at invitation of host government so no passport is needed. But if say she had decided to go to address the UNGA in New York. She might need to apply for a US visa like every other head of state.

passports are not about big governments it is about identifying you to the receiving country so if you commit a crime in said country the law enforcement agency know what embassy to contact as per the united nations mandate
