The New Swiss Passport

[extraduder_ire]

I think I'm too used to EU-style passports. Any other colour or shape looks strange to me.

That document looks beautiful though, very reminiscent of CHF notes.

Pretty when presented on a design-heavy site. Would have to see it in-person.

Still has the privacy-invasive RFID/NFC. I would not recommend inadvertently deactivating such an unwanted privacy thief by forgetting it in a microwave and definitely not accidentally turning it on for 1 second because then government entities would have to rely on document identifiers from the OCR scanner as a primary key into regulated database access instead.

The design on the passport made me thing that it would be really handy if the anti-forgery stuff contained information useful to a traveller, and not just be decorative.

E.g. emergency service phone numbers in different countries, is one that springs to mind. You could still make it all wiggly and fancy etc.

Wow. The new passport is a work of art. I'm sure many of the extra features are to help prevent counterfeiting, but they've been executed beautifully.

Why there’s no physical token as a passport yet!? Something like a yubico usb and can have it in the keychain would be ideal.

Plugging in USB into a government device at the border isn't what I would call secure...

For either party to be clear...

The NFC passports contain digital data, even your photo, you can use this app to see for yourself: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.innovalor.n...

Forgeries, identity theft, and invasions of privacy. Hard pass.
