Proof you were there.
Byway Atlas is the world. Byway Passport is your record of it: measured miles, completed byways, stamps, photos and words.
Stamps are issued by qualifying completed drives, never self-awarded.
The record starts with your first saved drive — the document ships with the Byway app.

An honest system of stamps.
Five families, engraved rather than gamified, in the house's four inks. Rarity is structural — a serial like AAR 04 · 33 is a coordinate in a real federal roster, not an invented percentage.
Byways
One stamp per byway, engraved with the road's own route geometry and cancelled the day the drive completes it. All-American Roads press in clay; the full-roster mark is gold.
Territory
A port-of-entry stamp the first time a logged drive crosses into a state, engraved with the state's real outline. The Union — every state — is the territory family's gold.
Light
The sun's own calendar. Solstice and equinox drives, first light and last light at aligned lookouts, the golden hour — the app attests where the sun stood; the passport keeps the moment. There are no streaks and no mileage prizes here, by design.
Terrain
Six registers — coast, alpine, desert, forest, gorge, badlands. Each issues on the first drive filed under it; holding all six presses the set stamp in clay.
Field record
The written record earns its own marks: entries filed, lookouts logged, journals kept. The passport is a document you write in, not only one that fills itself.

Stamps you can't fake.
Completed, not claimed
A byway stamp issues when the drive covers the route end to end, checked against the same committed geometry the engine navigates. There is no button that says you did it.
Structural rarity
Every scarce number on a stamp is a real one — the federal roster of All-American Roads, fifty states, six terrain registers. Nothing is a percentage invented to flatter.
One document
Reviews, photos and journals file into the same record the stamps cancel. Ten years from now it reads as one continuous account of where you actually went.
