Sovereign has its own authority to issue different type of identity documents ranging from identity cards, driving licenses or birth certificates under its jurisdiction, therefore documents can vary from one country to another. Going to a foreign country, visas and resident cards are issued to regulate those of non-citizen.
These documents are the product of both politics and technology. First as a plea to protect and respect its bearer, later as mechanisms of security, and then tokens in global integration. It is part of symbols of nationhood: flags, stamps, banknotes & passports.
Travelling is essentially a part of human necessities and with transportations, connections and entertainment, crossing the border is just part of the fun. For those with family residing in a different part of the world, travelling is the only way for physical connection. With cheap fares, tourism is no longer for a reserved few.
