Abstract: A passport is a travel document issued by the government of a country or region to its citizens or nationals to prove the identity and nationality of the holder for travel to and from the country and in foreign countries, and also to request the relevant foreign authorities to grant the holder access and protection. At present, there is a paucity of research literature on Chinese passports, and there is no systematic theoretical study of the development of passports in modern times. In this paper, we focus on the design ideas of modern Chinese passport documents and discuss the design concepts and trends of Chinese passports in different periods from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China to the present, in order to fill the gaps in the academic research on modern Chinese passports.
