How the U.S. Tracks Passport Data Worldwide — Inside a High-Security Federal Lab

Once a sealed parchment carried by medieval travelers, the modern passport has become one of the most secure and technologically advanced documents ever created. In this video, we trace the evolution of the U.S. passport — from a symbol of royal protection to a global tool of identity verification and digital security.

Through centuries of political change, border control, and rapid innovation, we explore how this document transformed into a sophisticated blend of materials science, cryptography, biometrics, and forensic engineering. Inside high-security federal facilities, we reveal the hidden processes behind its specialized paper, embedded fibers, optical inks, holographic elements, laser engraving, and encrypted RFID chips.
