EDIT: X-Post.

Yes. Look up 'American Passport' on Google Images, and look at the first result.

Don't they also have microchips embeded between the paper?

 

[holy king]

the question is, is it full of stars and stripes and the bald eagle everywhere?

 

[holy king]

it does look like designed by patroklos. lol, america.

The plan with the last redesign was to have an ID chip in them. That's one reason there was a rush to get them before the last rule change went into effect. All of the pages have complexity in their design. But only the ID page has the max complexity.

 

[holy king]

yeah, the only way to make a passport safe is to fill it with nationalistic kitsch of the very highest order. lol, america.

 

[Ajidica]

What do Austrian passports look like?

 

[Arakhor]

That does look hilariously overdone. British passports are very plain beside all that!

 

[holy king]

What do Austrian passports look like?

 

[Arakhor]

That's pretty much identical to ours, only in English and with less obnoxious chips.

 

[holy king]

yeah, well, it's a european union passport. they all look very identical, dont know why not exactly the same.

I kind of like the American ones actually, they say a lot about the American national character.

Whereas all the EU ones look uniformly boring.

 

[Ajidica]

Bah, Austrian are boring.
USA #1!

i dont know, i'd feel rather embarassed having to travel around with that thing.

 

[Cutlass]

Mine, being the older style, is actually more like that then the other.

I like the picture but I think there's too many pictures which makes it overly busy. Maybe just an eagle or a flag would be ok.

I didn't realise you were a blonde haired woman called Maria Manuela, holy king.

You'd be American though, so the concept of embarassment would be alien to you.

Why are the insides of Austrian passports that ugly pinkish colour? Brazilian passports (at least, the ones before everyone in Mercosul got a very similar one) look a much nicer light green that isn't sickening at all.
