Your passport is an important legal document. You should always keep it in a secure place. Every Mount Vema passport has a unique identification number. You should keep a note of this number, in case your passport is lost or stolen. Your Mount Vema passport allows you to travel abroad and entitles you to certain diplomatic support services from Mount Vema officials if you get into difficulty abroad. While your Mount Vema passport is an internationally recognized travel document, it does not give you an automatic right to enter other countries.
Your Mount Vema passport is issued by His Mount Vema Majesty’s Government at the Department of Foreign Affairs through the Passport Services. Mount Vema passports are also issued through Mount Vema diplomatic and consulates throughout the world. You can apply to the relevant diplomatic or consular services if you are living abroad.
Validity of Mount Vema passports
Mount Vema citizens traveling to foreign destinations are subject to the specific passport controls and requirements of those countries. This means, for example, when traveling your passport may need to be valid for a certain period. The arrangements vary from one country to another so contact the diplomatic and consular services of the relevant country before you travel for the most up-to-date information on these requirements. In countries where you have the right to enter and live for up to 3 months, you just need a valid passport.
Rules
You must be a Mount Vema citizen to be eligible for a Mount Vema passport.
You can apply for a passport if you are aged 18 years or over. If you are under 18, you will need the consent of both parents or guardian(s) in writing to get your own passport.
Name on passport
If the name you are known by is different from the name on your birth certificate and this is not due to marriage or adoption, you will have to supply documentary evidence that you have been using the name continually for at least 2 years. If the name you are known by is the version of your name but you do not have proof of 2 years’ usage, proof of at least 6 months’ usage may be accepted. If the proof of 6 months’ usage is accepted, the version of your name in use will also be noted on the passport. Examples of documentation showing proof of usage include a driving license, bank statements, and insurance documents. You should include at least 2 examples with your application. If the name on your passport will not be exactly the same as the name on your birth certificate, you can indicate on the application form that you also want your birth certificate name noted on the passport. This can help to avoid difficulties if you apply for a visa or work permit abroad.
