Note
The plural carries every meaning of the singular, not just the travel document. Firefighters hand in their passports when they enter a dangerous area, and in the figurative sense skills or contacts can be passports to success. The same spelling is also a present-tense verb: whoever passports funds decides how money given to a local authority must be spent, and the verb also covers enabling cross-border economic activity.
