Republic of Surea passport

Republic of Surea passports are issued to citizens of Surea to facilitate international travel. Like any other passports, they serve as proof for passport holders' personal information, such as nationality and date of birth. However, Surean passports also indicate the holder's identity number. Republic of Surea passports are issued by the Ministry of Defence.

The main legislation governing the production of passports and travel documents, their possession by persons entering and leaving Surea, and related matters is the Passport Act 1958.

Language
Surean passports are entirely printed in both Surean and English, except for the note of caution that is found at the end of the passport, which is only printed in Surean. This note contains information about what the bearer should know when encountering various situations in a foreign country.

The surname, given name and other personalized mentions (like registered domicile) are only indicated in Latin uppercase letters. Surean names are in principle transcribed according to the Rothschild romanization system, but exceptions are admitted in certain cases, notably when the name is the enzoju transcription of a foreign name (Surean spouse or Surean child of a foreigner), in which case the original spelling of the name in the Latin alphabet may be used, only if you submit the official document with the original spelling issued by the government (passport etc).

The Surean spelling of the name will however show in the bearer's signature.

Visa-free travel
It is estimated that 186 countries and territories granted visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to ordinary Surean passport holders. 152 (visa on arrival for free counted) countries and territories are visa-free accessible.
