Costa Rica unveiled new passports that were designed by Ticos and feature biometric technology. Authorities said that the travel documents will be released in the first quarter of 2022.

The passports contain a chip that contains biometric information, such as the document holder’s fingerprints and demographic information, that help improve security.

“This passport puts us at the height of the latest mobility trends at a global level. It prevents forgery and alteration, which makes it a very secure document as it is high-tech,” said Raquel Vargas, Director of Migration.

Passport History Expert + Author Tom Topol published several articles for notable brands. His website PASSPORT-COLLECTOR.COM and his book, LET PASS OR DIE are a goldmine on historic passports. Each old travel document was an artwork; no passport looked the same because of the beautiful individual handwriting, colorful stamps, visas, and, of course, the most curious passport pictures introduced roughly just 100 years ago.
