Need for the DocumentEdit

A Travel Document is an identity document issued by a government or international treaty organization to facilitate the movement of individuals or small groups of persons across international boundaries. This assures other governments that the bearer may return to the issuing country.

A travel document will allow a person to travel to all countries except his country of origin or the country from where he has fled. This limitation will be entered in to the travel document.
