Information which might help

• A passport is a document, issued by the national government. It certifies the identity and nationality of the holder for travel abroad. It contains information about the holder; like name, gender, date and place of birth.
• Possessing a passport does not in itself entitle the holder entry into another neither country, nor consular protection while abroad nor any other privileges. However, it does normally allow the passport holder to return to the country where the passport was issued.
• Rights to consular protection arise from international treaties, while the holder's return to the issuing country depends on the laws prevailing in that country.
