TEMPORARY PASSPORT
The provisional passport serves as an individual travel document, facilitating the movement of the passport holder to and from the national territory, particularly in situations of urgency where obtaining a regular passport is not a viable option. This unique travel document, valid for a period ranging from 6 months to 1 year, is granted under exceptional circumstances, subject to prior authorization.
Initiating the application process for a provisional passport involves the submission of various essential documents:
a) Provision of two passport-sized photographs featuring the facial profile of the applicant.
b) Completion of a thorough and duly filled-out application form designed specifically for the provisional passport.
c) Presentation of documentation verifying the legal authority exercised by the applicant, whether it be parental authority, guardianship, or custody, particularly crucial when the provisional passport is intended for use by a minor, someone under legal restrictions, or an individual with special needs.
d) Furnishing evidence of a previously filed request for an identity card, coupled with the submission of supporting documents that substantiate the urgent and exceptional nature of the application.
It is important to underscore that the issuance of a provisional passport is not a routine procedure and is reserved for circumstances requiring immediate attention. The meticulous presentation of the specified documents, along with comprehensive justifications for urgency, forms the basis for the exceptional consideration and approval of the provisional passport application. This nuanced approach ensures that the provision of this temporary travel document aligns seamlessly with the critical and time-sensitive needs of the passport applicant.
