Swiss Passport and ID Card

The new Swiss Passport, launched at the end of October 2022, was designed by Geneva-based creative agency Retinaa SA, and is inspired by rural Swiss scenes.

According to a spokesperson from Switzerland’s Federal Office of Police (Fedpol), the designs ‘invite you on a virtual journey through Switzerland’s 26 cantons, from the Alpine peaks down to the valleys.’ Unlike its predecessors, this passport will include ‘a page dedicated to The Fifth Switzerland’. This refers to the community of Swiss nationals living abroad.
