passports
Border crossing credentials
Passports are official government documents certifying the holder's identity and citizenship, required for international travel.
A passport allows entry into foreign countries and re-entry into one's own.
The word extends metaphorically to anything granting access or acceptance: A degree from that university is a passport to success.
