When Tony Mendez arrives in Tehran, he presents his Canadian passport to the Iranian immigration official. On presentation, a large version of the Canadian coat of arms appears on the cover of the passport, the bio page of the passport contains a water mark (to the left of the passport number) on the top edge of the "endorsements and limitations" page which is right above the bio page, and the photo appears to the right of the bio page's data. This passport version was introduced by Passport Canada (issuer of Canadian passports) circa 1998. In 1980, the bio data on a Canadian passport would appear typed on one page, and the photo was glued to the page right beneath it. Also, the Canadian coat-of-arms appears in a smaller version in the center of the passport's cover. Ironically, ten minutes after arriving in Tehran, when Mendez is meeting the Canadian Ambassador discretely in a car and is presented with the passports that will be use to sneak the U.S. diplomats out of Iran, do we see the correct version of the passport used in this mission.
