Passport booklets include an opening message from the federal subject's Chief State Executive (or whichever cabinet official is responsible for civil registration) or, less commonly, its Governor. Further fluff content, such as lists of [[List of subnational symbols|state/territorial symbols]], simplified highway maps, and kind reminders about anti-littering laws and the like, give the booklets some flavour and were widely read in train stations and airport lounges before the advent of smartphones. Detailed intaglio-printed images and watermarks the issuing state's landscape, fauna, historical events, and famous sons adorn the pages as an anti-forgery measure and decorative touch. | Passport booklets include an opening message from the federal subject's Chief State Executive (or whichever cabinet official is responsible for civil registration) or, less commonly, its Governor.

The PKPC requires that all content be printed at least in [[Kiravic Coscivian|Kiravic]] and that all numerical data be printed in Coscivian numerals. Many states choose to print passport content in additional languages. The languages used are most often the official or co-official languages of the state and standard for all passports, but some states allow applicants to select which additional languages will appear on their passport ([[Enscirya]], for example, allows its citizens to choose any living [[Ĥeiran Coscivians|Ĥeiran Coscivian]] language, [ | The PKPC requires that all content be printed at least in [[Kiravic Coscivian|Kiravic]] and that all numerical data be printed in Coscivian numerals.

[[Vrykrova|Vrykrovan]] passports are printed in Kiravic and High Coscivian, even though High Coscivian is not an official language in the state. | ||

[[Kiravian nationality law|Kiravian nationals]] may be issued a passport by the federal subject in which they reside, or by the one where they have [[Household registration in Kiravia#Registered_domicile|registered domicile]].<ref>The Pan-Kiravian Passport Compact carves out an exception for the [[Stewardship of Wintergen]]. Any Kiravian national may register their domicile in [[Wintergen]] (which is administered by [[Burgundie]]), but the Kiravian government-in-exile only issues passports to descendants of the Kiravians expelled from the island in 1823.</ref> Legal residents who are not Kiravian nationals may only receive passports from the federal subject where they reside. Persons present in Kiravia on non-immigrant visas and illegal aliens are not eligible for passports. | ||
Kiravian nationals may register their domicile anywhere in the Federacy with a valid postal address, and can easily transfer their registration by mail or online, so it is not unheard of for Kiravians to be registered in places they have never even been to. Domestic passports, on the other hand, must be obtained in person (though some jurisdictions allow renewal by mail). As such, most Kiravians who permanently resettle in another state/territory will eventually end up with a passport from their state/territory of residence, even though most do not transfer their registered domicile. However, it is very common for states or territories to have significant minorities of residents who hold passports from neighbouring states, especially where metropolitan areas spill across state boundaries. As an extreme example, in the [[District of Coīnvra]] (which is 270km² large and surrounded by the states of [[Hanoram]] and [[Ventarya]], into which the Kartika suburbs extend) only 42% of residents hold Coīnvran passports and only 16% of residents have registered their domicile there. | Kiravian nationals may register their domicile anywhere in the Federacy with a valid postal address, and can easily transfer their registration by mail or online, so it is not unheard of for Kiravians to be registered in places they have never even been to.
