You might soon get to choose your passport’s color. What are the backgrounds of your passport designs?

The Matrix was right—it all comes down to a choice.

The European Commission has registered the "STAR-PASS" (2025/000004) initiative, and the signature collection is officially OPEN!

The goal: Give EU citizens the optional choice between the standard national burgundy cover and a new, unified EU-blue design with the 12 gold stars. It’s about visualizing our European identity without losing our national roots.

What would you chose and why? What are cultural aspects of your current passport that you would not want to give up?
