==Description==
A '''passport''' is a [[document]], issued by a national [[government]], which certifies, for the [[purpose]] of international [[travel]], the [[identity]] and nationality of its holder. The elements of [[identity]] are name, date of [[birth]], [[sex]], and place of birth. Most often, nationality and citizenship are congruent.
A passport does not of itself entitle the passport holder entry into another country, nor to consular protection while abroad or any other [[privileges]]. It does, however, normally entitle the passport holder to return to the country that issued the passport. Rights to consular protection arise from international [[agreements]], and the right to return arises from the [[laws]] of the issuing country. A passport does not [[represent]] the right or the place of residence of the passport holder in the country that issued the passport.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passport]
