The Philippines

As soon as you open the passport you will find a Philippine eagle staring back at you. There’s also a map with places such as Metro Manila and the Makati skyline.

Slovenia

Like the Finnish passport, the Slovenian passport also features a flipbook animation, but this time across the side of the passport. We’re not exactly sure what it is though, looks like a bird chasing a cowboy to us.

Switzerland

The Swiss passport issued in 2010 deviates from the standard issue-looking passport with a unique minimalist design. The incredible geometric and abstract designs on the inside of the passport definitely make this one worthy of Switzerland.

United Kingdom

The UK Government issues a new design every 5 years to keep updating the security features. The designs are very complex and interesting, to say the least.

Australia

The Australian passport may not look like much with its boring cover, but on the inside, it has some of the best designs of any passport we’ve seen and is one of the most difficult passports to forge.

Each page features a different creature such as a platypus, emu, koala, and kangaroo.

Finland

Each page of the Finnish passport combines to act as a flipbook, animating a walking moose at the bottom right-hand corner.

One of the first passports to feature a hidden design when exposed to UV light, to this day it’s still one of the most spectacular passports.

France

Nothing spectacular about this passport, but the minimal white design really makes the passport stamps stand out which is very satisfying, unlike other passports (such as the USA) where the stamps can sometimes blend in with the colors of the background.

Each page of this passport also features different regions and territories around France.
