Celebrating Innovation in Identity and Travel Documents

The regional ID Document of the Year Awards were presented as part of the industry’s High Security Printing (HSP) EMEA conference on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, with the awards presented at a special ceremony in the stunning grounds of the W Hotel on 8 March 2023.

The awards gave the industry an opportunity to celebrate this year’s Best New Passport, Best New National ID Card and Best New ID or Travel Document – along with special recognition awards for Egypt and Turkey.

Best New Passport

The winner of the Best New Passport was the new Swiss Passport, launched at the end of October 2022, which was designed by Geneva-based creative agency Retinaa SA. The design is inspired by Swiss mountain peaks and rivers. The inner pages feature a rock crystal watermark.
