Different color passports are issued in countries around the world. Somewhere it’scolor is red, somewhere green. At present, there are only four colors in the world. Like red, green, blue and black But it is also worth mentioning that every red passport is not the same and neither the blue passport is the same. Every country can choose a different shade of color for itself. Let’s know about these colors-
Rules for colors
Countries do not have any strict rules regarding passport colors. But the size of the passport, its pages and the information written on it are international standards. Colors are exempted
Red passport
Most of the red color passports run in European countries. According to statistics, there are 68 countries where the passport color is red. Among them France, Poland, the Netherlands and Germany, where the colors of passports are almost identical.
Green passport
43 countries of the world have a green passport. Most of these countries are Islamic. In Islam, green is considered sacred. The passports of Islamic countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan and Indonesia are green.
Blue passport
Blue is considered a symbol of modernity. 78 countries of the world have a blue passport. But there is little difference in its shade. Just like Afghanistan and Fiji passports are light blue. The passports of India and America are of dark blue color.
But the color of citizens’ passports in India is deep blue. Here the color of the diplomatic passport is deep red and passport color is white to some representatives of the government.
This is exactly the same in the US. Here, a blue passport is issued for ordinary citizens while the diplomatic passport color is black.
African countries have Black Passport
The passport color is mostly black in most African countries. These countries include Angola, Congo, Malawi, Botswana, Zambia, Burundi. New Zealand is also a country where the passport color is black.
These countries change color
However, there are some countries that have changed the color of their passport. So there are some countries whose passport color can change in the time to come. If we talk about America, the passport color used to be red there first. Later, in the 1930s, color of passport got changed in green Then in the 1970s the passport color got blue.
Britain can also be included in the list of countries having color change passports. At present, like the rest of the European countries, there is a red color passport in the UK. But it is believed that its passport color may be get blue after the Brexit. If this happens then the color of the passport there will also be blue like India and America.
