ID Card Passport

 A passport book with removable ID Card as the info page

Within the EU, you can travel with an ID or a passport. Some countries still like to rubber stamp pages, add visa payment stamps like postage stamps or take over whole pages with a residence visa. Some people just like collecting the stamps of countries they've visited.

A passport that has a removable ID Card with RFID chip would allow the best of both worlds, with the added bonus that you could replace the card every 10 years, but only replace the book if you run out of pages (I have had to carry an expired passport for years with its valid residence visa).

This would ease the transition away from non-digitised records to the already widespread centralised shared data.

       Credit card passport is already a thing. I think Ireland is the only country that has implemented it so far.

       We have passport cards here in the US, good for crossing into Mexico or Canada. You still need the traditional book-style passport to go overseas though. A hybrid model as proposed here would be nice.

       Back in my 30's, when we had the Halfcon in San Francisco, I hadn't yet bothered to get a passport and could drive all the way to South America if I wanted to.   

       It's always the same... the shitty kids gotta go and screw things up for everybody.
