passport
word
Definition
An official document from a government that identifies you and allows you to travel to other countries. It usually includes your name, photo, and nationality.
Usage & Nuances
Usually used for international travel, not domestic travel. Common combinations are 'valid passport', 'passport control', 'passport photo', 'renew a passport', and 'carry your passport'. Do not confuse it with a visa: a passport is your ID document, while a visa is permission to enter a country.
