Passport Template
Make a pretend passport booklet for play, a classroom trip around the world or a party. Choose 8 to 20 pages, a cover colour and picture, and inside pages for stamps, a travel journal (one page per place) or both. Type a name for the holder page, or make a class set with one booklet per child, each with its own explorer number, and add a photo if you like. Pages come in order for double-sided printing: fold the sheets together and staple, and the pages read 1, 2, 3 to the back cover. Print half-sheet booklets (139.7 × 215.9 mm (5.5 × 8.5 in) on US Letter) or pocket size (88 × 125 mm, two booklets per print), plus a sheet of pretend stamps to cut out. It is clearly a toy: no crest, no machine-readable lines, no issuing country, and every page says it is not a travel document. Nothing is uploaded.

How to make a pretend passport
- Choose the size, the number of pages and what goes on the inside pages: stamps, a travel journal or both.
- Type the cover title and pick a colour and a cover picture.
- Type the holder’s name, or tick Class set and type one name per line. Add a photo if you like, or leave a box to draw a self-portrait.
- List the places for the journal pages and stamps: countries for a geography unit, stations for a party, or worlds from a book.
- Download the PDF and print it double-sided at 100%, flipping on the short edge (half size) or the long edge (pocket size). Keep the sheets in order, fold them together and staple twice on the fold.
What you can use it for
- A geography unit: a page for each country the class “visits”
- Pretend play: airport, travel agent or border games at home
- Party passports for a travel-themed birthday, with a stamp at each station
- Reading challenges: a stamp for each book world visited
- Summer holiday or road-trip journals for children
- Scout, club and camp activity passports
Booklet sizes
| Size | Page on US Letter | Page on A4 | Booklets per print |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half size (one spread per landscape sheet) | 139.7 × 215.9 mm (5.5 × 8.5 in) | 148.5 × 210 mm (5.85 × 8.27 in) | 1 |

Half-size pages keep a 10 mm margin and pocket pages 6 mm, so nothing falls in the strip a home printer cannot reach.

Printing and making tips
- Print at 100% (Actual size), double-sided, and check the first sheet before printing a class set.
- Card stock or coloured paper for the cover sheet makes the booklet sturdier; print it separately from the inner sheets if your printer allows.
- A long-reach stapler reaches the fold of a half-size booklet; for pocket size, a normal stapler opened flat works.
- White (to colour in) saves ink and gives children a cover to decorate.
- Ink stamps, stickers or hand-drawn stamps all work in the dashed spaces.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a pretend passport?
Choose the pages and the cover, type the holder’s name, list the places for the inside pages and download the PDF. Print it double-sided at 100%, keep the sheets in order, fold them together and staple on the fold.
How do I print the booklet so the pages are in order?
Print double-sided. On a half-size booklet (one spread per landscape sheet) choose flip on the short edge; on pocket size (two spreads on a portrait sheet) choose flip on the long edge. The PDF already puts the pages in booklet order: for 12 pages, sheet 1 has pages 12 and 1 on the front and 2 and 11 on the back. If your printer only prints one side, print the odd PDF pages, put the stack back in and print the even ones.
What pages are in the booklet?
Page 1 is the cover, page 2 the inside cover with a “this passport belongs to” box, page 3 the holder page with a photo box, name, birthday, home town, explorer number and signature, then the inside pages, and the last page is the back cover.
What sizes can I print?
Half size: each page is half a sheet, 139.7 × 215.9 mm (5.5 × 8.5 in) on US Letter or 148.5 × 210 mm (5.85 × 8.27 in) on A4 (about A5). Pocket size: 88 × 125 mm pages, close to a real passport, printed two booklets to a sheet and cut apart on the grey lines.
Can I make a passport for every child in my class?
Yes. Tick Class set and type one name per line, up to 40. Each child gets a booklet with their name on the cover and the holder page and their own explorer number (EXP-0001, EXP-0002 …, or your own prefix).
Can I add a photo?
Yes. Choose a picture and it is cropped to a 35 × 45 photo box on the holder page. It stays in your browser. Without a photo the box says Photo or self-portrait, for children to draw themselves.
What are the stamp and journal pages?
Stamp pages have six dashed spaces for stickers, stamps or drawings, with a place name under each if you list places. Journal pages have a box to draw a flag or a map and lines for the date, how I travelled, what I saw, what I tasted and my favourite thing.
Does it look like a real passport?
No, on purpose. There is no crest or seal, no machine-readable lines, no issuing country and no security pattern, and every page carries the line “Novelty for play: not a travel document”. Use it for play and learning only.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything is drawn by JavaScript in your browser and never leaves your device, including a photo you add. Only the free fonts load from a public font CDN, and nothing is saved when you close the page.
