Description

For generations of travelers, few parts of an international trip were as satisfying as the thud of a rubber passport stamp. It was as much an adventurous badge of honor as it was official proof of your travels.

As more countries lean into biometric technology and digital records, the trusty passport stamp is, in many cases, fading away. Let’s take a closer look at where the beloved travel ritual stands today.
