  • Comment: This will probably need more in the way of references for the information.
    Other than that, this seems pretty interesting idea, a table might be another way (in addition to the map) to present this information.

Adult Passports

Generally an adult passport is valid for ten years, such as a United Kingdom passport or a United States Passport, or five years, as is the situation for a New Zealand Passport or an Indonesian passport. Some countries issue adult passports for periods between five to ten years, such as the Cuban passport, which is valid for six years. Other countries issue passports that do not expire, for example a Spanish passport issued to citizens over 70 never expires.

Child and Young Adult Passports

Most countries issue passports for children and young adults for five years, under passport issuing protocols a child or young adult passport is defined as being under 16 years for a United States Passport, under 19 years for a Japanese Passport or under 30 years as is the case with a Spanish passport.

Infant Passports

Because children change rapidly in appearance from infancy to age five, some countries issue infant passports for two years, such as the Austrian passport, or for one year in the case of the Republic of Korea passport.

Validity on Arrival

Many countries require passport validity of no less than six months on arrival.
