Passport Notice
A passport is an official travel document issued to citizens of a country by the State. It allows the bearer to travel from and return to the country of origin and is required to enter a foreign state. It is used to verify the identity and nationality of individuals. If a country requires travelers to have passports, then each individual traveler, of any age, must have their own passport. The Public Security Departments or Bureaus of the local governments authorized by the Ministry of Public Security are responsible for the issuance, renewal, page-adding or endorsement of Diplomatic Passports, Service Passports and Ordinary Passports for Public Affairs. All these passports can be renewed before the expiry date.
