A passport might be one of our legal documents, but who says it has to be a boring piece of paperwork?

While the Irish model recently got a revamp in the form of a credit-card sized addition, the latest Canadian handiwork is set to impress with a series of illuminated page designs.

Documenting some of Canada’s most historical moments and buildings, the passport flips though the usual pages usually marked by visas and watermarks.

The intricate detail only really comes alive once the passport is pulled out under a black light… where the pages come alive with stunning detail.

According to Canada’s National Post, the new design represents the “bustling, multicultural nation home to men and women, with a contemporary, ever-involving national narrative.”

As one user commented:

“If you scratch it, it will smell like maple syrup”.

At this rate, we really wouldn’t doubt it.
