A Dogon duo wallet also seems to be working great as a passport holder (a friend of mine uses it for that purpose). Though it is slightly pricier than other suggestions.
Oh - quick note - I also found that if you have the larger US passport (with extra pages) the Tarmac is a little tight. That's the other reason I use an agenda cover, although again for me I HAVE to have a pocket for vaccinations. I lost my yellow fever card once and am never risking that again 
Hi, I'm reacting on your comment and on the thread a few months later.
I've started my new job very recently, and there I have to keep several cards with me (security, time clock, etc). I never needed a cardholder (I remember writing that on tpf in January...), and now I'm rather annoyed having to keep hunting them all day long in my handbag. Plus I already left my office key at home when switching bags, that's totally me.
I'm afraid a calvi might be too small (they are the size of a credit card, but one of the cards has to remain in its plastic frame).
Would a Tarmac be suitable for that, or might the content just fall out ?

I think the content could slide out. The passport fits well, but cards might slip out.
Agree with the poster above that tarmac won’t work. What about the calvi pouches? They’re obviously a bigger and not really “cardholder” size but they’re versatile and would work well for your purposes (big enough for keys, would allow you to repurpose once you’re in your next job if you generally don’t like cardholders and no longer need one).
Hi! I'm seeing this years later but I am looking to get a used agenda for a passport holder. I have seen so many shapes and sizes and I am so worried about buying one online that won't work. Can you please let me know your agenda measurements? I would love to see a pic too, no passport info though lol.

No it wouldn’t. I have one in chèvre and another in Epsom. The Epsom is quite tight - I need to really slide the passport in properly to secure the closure.
A few years ago I bought a bigger passport holder that was Petit H. That fits 3 passports, so you could look there to see if they are still making any.
Does the Hermes Tarmac work with a large passport book (double the pages/thickness of a standard passport book)...just tight or doesn't work/snap at all?
Not sure how many pages you are talking about, but I just tested an old 64 page Australian passport in my epsom Tarmac. It fits. I think if it were, say, double that thickness it would likely not snap closed but couldn't test this to confirm.
