Kadolhan passport

The Kadolhan passport (Kadolhan: Кадољски пасош / Kadoíski pasoš) is the primary travel document issued to Kadolhan citizens for international travel.

Passports are issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and if the citizen resides abroad, at the embassy. Every citizen is only allowed to own one Kadolhan passport, official passports are issued to members of the Cabinet of Ministers, public services and non-diplomatic staff at embassies. Diplomatic passports are issued to high-level government officials.

History
The first travel documents for travel overseas by Kadolhan citizens were introduced in 1869 in the form of a letter. These letters required a specific stamp to be considered genuine and official, which was only obtainable from government officials. In 1920, the Kadolhan government introduced a passport in the form of a booklet, but there were three types, a official passport, diplomatic passport and a regular civilian passport, much like the current ones today. A machine-readable passport was introduced in 1989, followed by a biometric passport in 2006, which is the current one adopted.

Design
Current passports are issued in accordance to the National Law on Travel Documents and all Kadolhan citizens are required to have a passport for travel abroad. Kadolhan passports have inscriptions in white letters written in Kadolhan Cyrillic - РЭПУБЛИКА КАДОЉСКА (REPUBLIC OF KADOLHA) at the top and ПАСОШ (PASSPORT) at the bottom, divided by the Kadolhan eagle in the center. The biometric passport symbol is located on the very bottom of the front cover, along with the present inside of the document.
