What a Passport Stamp Really Means

Passport stamps were created to help track a person’s movement. Each country has their own unique stamp with the country name, a space for the date of arrival and a signature by security officials. Like postcards kept in a scrapbook or stickers on a piece of luggage, passport stamps are not just functional but also treasured as a traveler’s collector item.

 

All in one little book, with your home country proudly displayed on the cover, these stamps can be collected upon arrival into a foreign country. They serve as proof that you were somewhere else, that you ventured outside your home territory to experience the world in the most official way.Perhaps a traveler’s most prized possession it’s not only the key to getting back to their home country but a passport simply contains so many memories. Any given stamp in a passport can be reflected upon and no doubt brings back a story. Maybe even a more interesting story than a picture or souvenir could invoke.

 

A stamp from London might remind one person of a busy, international, beautiful airport. A stamp from Jamaica might bring back memories of never-ending beaches and a vacation of a lifetime. Looking through your passport is like a trip around the world, in stamps. The date on the stamp helps you remember the time of years you visited and maybe even the reason behind the adventure. Getting a stamp from a place you’ve never been before can be the start to an amazing adventure that can be relived again and again by looking at the permanent stamp in your passport.
