Does any passport never expire?

Question

While filling the booking form on Kiwi.com, I noticed that below the passport/ID expiration date there is a box "No expiration" that can be checked.

This made me wonder: Does any passport never expire?

Answer 1

Frame challenge: The point is not that the document never expires, it's just it does not have expiration date printed on it anywhere, so it is not a part of document data.

Obvious examples: Russian domestic passports do need to be replaced when you turn 18 and 45 years old, but that date is not printed anywhere in the passport and is flexible (expired passport is still valid and needs to be replaced after the fact).

Russian birth certificates never expire, but they stop being IDs when you come of age. However, that date is never printed in the document. As soon as the kid gets their domestic passport they stop using birth certificate as an ID.

These are primary documents on which Russian citizens fly domestically and they are specified with no expiry date.

Answer 2

There are quite a few national ID cards that don't expire in some cases :

• Bulgarian ID card for citizens >= 58 years old
• Icelandic ID card until a photo change is needed (or until 2026 due to EU Regulation imposing a change of ID)
• Former Romanian ID-2 model for citizens >= 55 years old
• Spanish/Slovenian ID for citizens >= 70 years old
• Former Polish ID card for citizens >= 70 years old
• Non-unified Brazillian ID for citizens > 60 years old
• Hong Kong ID for people holding the right of abode in HK
• Malaysia's MyKad seems to be without expiry
