Born to Singaporean mother and nonresident Chinese father

guess the order in which I received them tho :D

Was hoping to see the new Series D with the King Charles Coat of arms in person with the internal pictures instead of the boring visa pages of the series C. Series D was issued in December 2025, so thought for sure series C suplies would have run out, but unfortunately not.

I only used AI to remove the text from the original. I overlaid all the new text and seals myself.

I’m Vietnamese and studied chữ Nôm/Chinese characters when I was in grade school in Vietnam, but I study abroad in the US now.

I thought I would try to create a clean-slate* design for a theoretical ID card, driving licence and EHIC Card (NHS card) for an independent Scottish state in the EU.
*clean-slate in the sense that while these take inspiration from existing designs and prescriptions, there is no Scottish equivalent that could be drawn upon.

Notes on the designs –

1. I have assumed that Scotland would be in the EU by this point and that the EU has not changed the regulations regarding travel documents, driving licences, and EHICs from the current standard.
2. I have assumed that the likely 3-letter code would be "SCT", as no other country has it as yet and it is not reserved. The 2-letter code would be more tricky as all the sensible ones beginning with "S" are taken – I have thus assumed that the likely allocation will be "AB" from Alba.
3. I have decided to include both Scottish Gaelic and Scots for the designs. In either case, the translations were done with the aid of Google translate and Claude ... so there are likely some errors.
4. Specifically with regards to Scots, there were numerous challenges involved as Scots orthography is a pain at the best of times. I have tried to match the style used in the Scots accompanying notes to the Scottish Languages Bill 2025 [now Act] as published by the Scottish Government on the Scottish Parliament's website. If you are a Scottish Gaelic or Scots (or Doric (if you consider that to be separate)) speaker, please let me know of any corrections that should be made.
5. The backside (technically front as per EU regulations) of the EHIC card would function as a NHS health card – primarily for the holder to know their CHI number and for first-aid responders to know what [not] to administer.
6. The designs were made in Inkscape, except for the image of the nominal bearer which was generated using AI as I couldn't fathom using someone's actual face.

DISCLAIMERS:

1. I am neither Scottish nor British and have no strong opinion on the matter of Scottish independence and neither should my opinion on it matter. I have always wanted to try out a clean(ish)-slate idea, and since I have been living in Scotland for a few years now, it was kinda natural to use this as my test-case.
2. Before someone comes at me, this is not strategically timed in its release after the Scottish Parliament elections – I have been working on this on and off for a few months now and it just so happens to have reached a satisfactory result about now.
3. I do not want to be drawn into the whole ID card debate – in my personal opinion, keep it optional and not mandatory.
4. I will likely also be putting out my design for a Scottish Passport as well, though it might take a while as I'm still trying things out in terms of the designs for the visa pages.

Just got my US-Mexico passports! Thanks to my parents, shout out to them. One question: where do people purchase their expired passports for collection? I want to collect some modern Japanese and German passports because I‘m new here. Thanks!

Canadian Passport + Status Card
(passport is 5 months old and already curling 💔)

Friend’s grandmother’s wild passport. Also didn’t know that SG passports were polycarbonate even back in 2008.

Traveling with a Pakistani passport can feel discouraging sometimes. You see passport rankings, visa refusals, long checklists, bank statements, hotel bookings, proof of employment, return tickets, and endless waiting and it can make the world feel much further away than it really is.

My Schengen visa experience reminded me of that. I had to prepare everything carefully: the application form, flights, hotels, insurance, bank statements, employment/placement evidence, itinerary, and all the supporting documents. Even after submitting, the waiting part was honestly stressful because you keep thinking about what could go wrong. Getting that visa back felt like a proper moment not just because it meant I could travel, but because it felt like all the effort and patience finally paid off.

Every stamp and visa in this passport means something to me. It represents planning, saving up, taking chances, and not letting the passport I hold decide how much of the world I’m allowed to dream about.

I know it’s not the easiest passport to travel with, but I wanted to share this because it’s still possible. Slowly, one visa and one stamp at a time, you can build your own travel story.

Would love to see other underrated passports with interesting travel histories sometimes the hardest journeys make the best stories.

Madrid-Barajas stamp on request at entry

And my grandma also has the same combo, not the worst duo I say as the Turkish grants access to some off the beaten path countries while Armenia grants access to Russia, India and China as well I think but don’t quote me on that

Polish residence application stamp in US passport. Applied in September, stamped in May.

I've had enough of the trauma my pakistani passport has given me and now am looking to purchase a passport through investment. For those of you who have done so which one would you recommend as I am new to this, turkey/dominica/St lucia?

My only requirements are that my wife and kids who are 20 and 17 should be able to acquire the passport - paying extra per family member is not an issue, Pakistan is set to launch a new business man passport which would be somewhat a government official passport but there are no updates as of yet.

I currently have a UAE 10 year golden visa but it does not do my any favors
