I live in Canada and am somewhat surprised I didn’t find this out until now! Canada’s ePassport which made its debut in July 2013 has just reached a level of uber-coolness due to its security features. Just like the luminescent artwork on Canadian currency, it also now appears on Passports too!
An Imgur user posted photos of the new Canadian Passport which has new luminescent artwork that reveals itself under a black light. The features have been available since its debut but only now come to light (pun intended) thanks to the photos that were posted to Imgur last week.

How amazing is that?
All these wonderful details can only be revealed under a black UV light and add an incredible amount of security.

UV lights are inexpensive and if you also have a Canadian passport, take a second look!
Please share how impressive a Canadian passport looks under a UV light with your friends and family.
