camouflage passport
A camouflage passport is a document, designed to look like a real passport, issued in the name of a non-existent country or entity. It may be sold with matching documents, such as an international driver's license, club membership card, insurance documents or similar supporting identity papers.〔"A precaution in your pocket" by Amon Cohen in ''The Financial Times'', 25 August 1997, p. 10. Retrieved 16 February 2014 from ''ProQuest''.〕 A camouflage passport is not a real, valid passport and is to be distinguished from a valid second passport, which an individual with dual citizenship may be eligible to hold, a novelty ''fantasy passport'', or a fake of a real passport.
==Origins==
False identity documents have a long history but in 1998 the idea of the camouflage passport was credited by ''The Financial Times'' to Donna Walker of Houston who said she had the idea ten years earlier when she heard of an American on a hijacked aircraft being shot because of his nationality. Walker said that she started by asking the Sri Lankan embassy whether they still had rights over the name ''Ceylon'' and, finding they did not, went on to ask the U.S. State Department whether producing a passport in that name would be illegal, they "couldn't show me it wasn't". Walker went on to produce hundreds of passports in different country names, trading as International Documents Service, and described her "finest hour" as being during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait when a group of European oil executives were able to use her documents to pass through Iraqi checkpoints and escape to Jordan. She said the basic idea was to look like "a not very interesting man from a not very interesting country".〔"How to travel under cover" by John Westbrooke in ''The Financial Times'', 24 January 1998, p. 2. Retrieved 14 January 2014 from ''Gale News Vault''.〕
