Have you ever seen passports of other countries? Do you know how many places you can go without a visa or with ones you get on arrival? And if you have really become curious just by reading this, then passportindex.org is the site for you.

Passportindex is an interesting website where you can actually look up any country’s passport, see its rank, compare it with other passports and check visa rules for specific countries.

As you open the site, the first thing you notice is a lot of small passport cover pictures from different countries. Believe me, they look so cute! It feels like a big wall of passports. You can scroll and keep seeing more and more. It’s not messy and there are no annoying ads as well.

At the top, there is a menu with options like “Explore,” “Rank,” “Compare,” and “Map.” Clicking Explore will open passports listed by country name. If you click on Rank, it shows passports from strongest to weakest. ‘Strong’ here just means how many countries you can visit without a visa or with a visa on arrival.

The whole point of the site is passport strength. It shows a mobility score, which is basically a number that tells you how many places you can go easily with that passport. More countries, higher score. Less access, lower score. You can search for your country’s passport using the search box, or just click on the passport picture.

There is also a Compare section where you can pick two passports and see them side by side. It shows which one lets you travel to more countries. Another part is the Visa Checker, where you can choose a passport and a country to see if you need a visa or not.

The site doesn’t require you to sign up. You just click and read. But I’ll be honest, some pages look a bit crowded with flags, numbers and lists. And as a kid, you may get a bit confused.

But overall, passportindex.org is useful if you want to know how strong a passport is or compare it with others. Even if you don’t understand everything, you can still find it interesting to explore passports of different countries or your own, to get the main idea by checking the score.
