... National Anthem hymn or song expressing patriotic sentiment and either governmentally authorized as an official national hymn or holding that position in popular feeling. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, most European countries followed Britain's example, some national anthems being written especially for the purpose, others being adapted from existing tunes. The sentiments of national anthems vary, from prayers for the monarch to allusions to nationally important battles or uprisings. Encyclopedia Britannica |

...Passport a
formal document or certification issued by a national government
identifying a traveler as a citizen or national with a right
to protection while abroad and a right to return to the country
of his citizenship. Passports, letters of transit, and similar
documents were used for centuries to allow individuals to
travel safely in foreign lands, but the adoption of the passport
by all nations is a development of the 19th and 20th centuries.
A passport is a small booklet containing a description of
the bearer and an accompanying photograph that can be used
for purposes of identification.
