JAKARTA: Indonesia has unveiled a new passport design featuring the national colours of red and white, replacing the previous bluish-green cover used since 2014.

The updated passport was unveiled on the 79th Independence Day, on Saturday, with the goal of enhancing both security and cultural representation.

Director General of Immigration, Silmy Karim, said the redesigned passport meets the latest international standards set by The International Civil Aviation Organisation Annex 9 on facilitation.

"This standard requires periodic updates to passport security features to prevent forgery and data tampering,” he said in a statement.

The new design includes advanced security features, such as a heat-resistant cover, and the passport’s pages display traditional fabric patterns, showcasing Indonesia’s regional cultural elements.

Since its introduction in 1945, the country’s passport has undergone several design changes, transitioning from grey to blue, green and dark green. – Bernama
