The Interior Ministry of Estonia is planning a redesign of Estonian passports, incorporating enhanced security features to combat fraud and ensure citizen safety. A significant change will be the return of blue covers for citizen passports, a feature previously phased out. This shift is slated to take effect beginning in 2030, marking a return to the traditional color for Estonian travel documents. The Ministry has not detailed the specific security enhancements, but emphasized the need for modernizations to maintain the integrity of Estonian passports. This decision follows a period where Estonian passports featured different cover colors. The move aims to balance tradition with contemporary security standards for Estonian citizens traveling internationally.
