The only person to travel the world without a passport.
The Queen of England also has to go through security checks when entering other countries, but if asked her name or profession, she simply replies: "The Queen."
Anyone in the world needs a passport to travel to another country, even a mummy. In 1974, the Egyptian government had to issue a passport to the mummy of Pharaoh Ramesses II when they wanted to take the deceased king to Paris, France. The occupation listed on the passport was King (deceased).
However, Queen Elizabeth II of England is a special case, as she is the only person in the world to enjoy the privilege of traveling anywhere without needing identification documents.
The reason is that the British passport was issued in her name. Before arriving in a country, her assistants would contact that country's government to resolve the issue of not having a passport.
The first page of the passport also clearly states: "In the name of the Queen of Great Britain, the British Foreign Secretary authorizes the passport holder to travel freely without hindrance and to receive full assistance and protection as needed."

The Queen can also drive in England without a driver's license, as the document is issued in her name.
She has been driving for about 72 years, since she was 19 years old. Her passion for cars has been documented in the press over the years, with the iconic image of the Queen driving a Range Rover.
Besides not needing to possess identification documents, Queen Elizabeth II also celebrates her birthday twice a year. Her actual birth date is April 21, 1926, however, Britain officially celebrates her birthday on an unspecified date in June.
Previously, the queen chose to celebrate her birthday on a Thursday of the month, but later she changed it to a Saturday so that more people could attend.
This is a British royal tradition dating back to the 18th century, influenced by the weather. The royal family wanted to celebrate the Queen's birthday in the summer, avoiding the cold of April.
The Queen's second birthday will be celebrated in conjunction with the annual "Trooping the Colour" parade, which this year falls on June 17th.
During the parade, the Queen will travel through many streets in London, from Buckingham Palace to shopping centers... before appearing on the palace balcony with other members of the royal family.
