I wonder about this ANGOLA passport from 1996 with all the German Umlauts. Impossible to use as a travel document with these typos, and there are no travels. Maybe issued as a SPECIMEN?

💡 Unpopular opinion: According to Frontex "Document fraud is a big problem in Europe." But is it? There are 15,000 cases with forged documents (Frontex). Statista and Migration Data Pool report 1.25 Billion border crossings annually. So what are we talking about, really? It's more about to keep business going.

𝗨𝗦 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝟭𝟴𝟭𝟱 The late 18th and early 19th centuries were marked by widespread conflict. Between 1793 and 1815, Britain and France were locked in near-constant warfare. As part of the British Empire, Upper Canada was inevitably drawn into this global struggle, and when the United States declared war on Britain on June 18, 1812, Canada found itself on the front lines of what had become a worldwide conflict. Like any war, the War of 1812 profoundly impacted the local population. Henry Nelles, a Captain in the Upper Canadian embodied militia from the Niagara District, served for two years during the War of 1812. After being captured at the Battle of Lundy's Lane, he spent the remainder of the war as a prisoner in the United States. This is his passport. The terms of parole for an officer were relatively lenient. In the case of Henry Nelles, he was instructed: "Upon your arrival in Berkshire, you will report to Capt. D. Brown, who will assist in securing your quarters. You are then permitted to walk within the boundaries of the town, which will be indicated to you by Capt. D. Brown. You must report to him in person at his residence every Saturday... Additionally, all letters written or received by you must be submitted to this office for inspection, and discussions of public matters with citizens are strictly prohibited." Officers and enlisted men could be exchanged for prisoners of equal rank. Once exchanged, their parole terms were nullified, allowing them to resume service in either regular or militia forces. #passporthistory #passport #reisepass #passeport #identity #biometrics #security #icao #travel #travelindustry #airport

➡️ THIS passport you might have never seen before... SIAM became THAILAND on 23 June 1939 and became SIAM briefly again for 3,5 years between Sep 1945 and 11 May 1949! This passport for a 15-year-old boy is from this brief 2nd period, issued 1947, valid until 1949 and extended until 1951. There are 2 airport stamps which mention the aircraft registration number. Both aircraft were DC-3, flying for Trans Asiatic Airlines. The airline was formed in 1946 and taken over by Philippine Air Lines (PAL) in 1950.   According to my sources, the family name in the passport MANABHONGSE identifies a notable family of Gold shop owners in old Bangkok.
