travel documents

Papers for crossing

Travel documents are official papers that permit crossing international borders—passports, visas, and similar credentials.

The phrase appears constantly in airline communications and government notices: Please have your travel documents ready for inspection.

It encompasses whatever paperwork a particular journey requires, which varies by destination and citizenship.
