History
The first official Renesian travel and identification document was created in 1630 when the region became more stable and unified. The Principality seek to create an official document to prove that the person came from Renesia on an official business, and they were given to any important official such as the Prince and the Chancellor. The passport was two to three parchment held together by yellow, black and white bows, and included the name, occupation and if it was on a foreign trip the purpose or main aim of the visit. The passport also included the Renesian seal as a way to prevent fraud or counterfeiting.

Nobles and eventually cities imitated it and created similar documents, which helped spread its usage. Although it was only common for the rich or noble to receive it, and as such, it became a status of wealth to have one, especially one received from the Prince.

By the 1770s a unified passport system was created, all passports were created by nobles or cities for the commoners. The passport was a small book containing the name, the place of living, Province, Noble's or City's seal and the second page would include the message "This person is from the Principality of Renesia", and the book was surrounded by yellow, black and white bows. Nobles or important officials are only able to get a passport from the Prince. The passport was used to track the movement of people within Renesia and prevent many from leaving the country.
