Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about Indonesian passport?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
An Indonesian passport (Indonesian: Paspor Indonesia) is a travel document issued by the Government of Indonesia to Indonesian citizens residing in Indonesia or overseas. The main governing body with regards to the issuance of such passport(s), possession(s), withdrawal and related matters is the Directorate General of Immigration (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi) under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kementerian Hukum dan HAM).[3] Indonesia does not recognize multiple citizenship for its citizens and such citizens will automatically lose their Indonesian citizenship if another citizenship is acquired voluntarily.[4] Special exceptions allow newly born citizens to hold dual nationalities (including Indonesian) until his/her eighteenth birthday after which a choice of either nationalities should be decided.[5] The latest Indonesian passport has different national birds and sceneries on each page.

The latest version of the Indonesian passport was first announced on 30 October 2014.[1] Visible revisions include:
- Cover colour: Prior to 30 October 2014, ordinary Indonesian passports were issued with a dark green cover while the latest one is turquoise green (hijau toska).
- Coat of arms: The coat of arms is now centered and significantly larger than older editions
- Translation (cover only): Only 'passport' appears bilingually (Indonesian above and English below) while the phrase 'Republik Indonesia' is not translated to 'Republic of Indonesia'.
Starting from 12 October 2022, passports are now valid for 10 years. [6]
The Directorate General of Immigration has announced that a new passport colour and design will be launched on 17 August 2024, coinciding with Independence Day.[7]
