Let us now have a look at the eligibility criteria and the terms of use of Diplomatic or Special Passport.
- Unless the person has special authorization by the Passport program, he needs to travel with only 1 valid country passport.
- When the person is traveling on the official business trip, they should not use their special passport. To know more about the same, one can consult an expert on honorary consul.
- When the person is travelling for just personal reasons, they need to carry only their regular passport but there are again exceptions to this. The person can use their special passport if they are on an official trip just after their personal trip without returning home. In such a case they can use their special passport. The diplomats can also make use of their special passports when they are posted in a different country.
- Once the trip has been completed, the special passport has to be returned back but this does not hold true in case of those employees who have a MoU with the Passport program.
- If the person does not follow the set rules of the passport program, it can lead to revoking of the bearer’s passport and they might as well be denied any special passport in the future as well.
How and who can make use of the special passport?
One can apply for or renew an existing passport if they meet up the below mentioned criteria,
- If your regular passport has the same name as in the new application
- If your regular passport was issued to you when you are about 16 years of age
- If the regular passport you hold has been issued with a validity period of 5 years or 10 years
- If your regular passport is still valid or has been expired for not more than an year
- If your regular passport is not damaged and was never reported as stolen or lost.
Who can apply for both passports at the same time?
If you have applied to become an honorary consul and wish to apply for both the passports at the same time, it is advised you book for an honorary consul appointment with the experts who can guide you with the process.
If you are one of those who do not even have a regular passport, you can apply for both the passports at the same time.
While you can expect help from professionals who have the needed experience to assist you with special passports, it is important you choose the right team to help you with the same. Choose the firm who has the needed experience and expertise as they need to be aware of all the rules and regulations involved with the same.
