passport stamp

Border crossing proof

A passport stamp is an inked impression placed in a passport by immigration officials when entering or leaving a country.

These stamps serve as a record of border crossings, showing dates and locations of travel: My passport is full of stamps from Southeast Asia.

Some travelers collect stamps as souvenirs, while others need blank pages for countries requiring them.

Passport stamps can also matter legally—certain stamps may bar entry to other nations.
