Diplomatic Passport Application Process

Step 1: Government Appointment or Commission

The process begins with an official appointment issued by a competent authority. This may be in the form of a presidential or prime ministerial decree, a decision from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or an official order from the Council of Ministers. The appointment document must clearly outline the applicant’s role, the term of authority, the objectives of international representation, and a justification for granting diplomatic status.

Step 4: Submission of Official Application

After all approvals and checks have been completed, the applicant may formally submit their request for a diplomatic passport to the Department of Passports and Immigration. The submission typically includes a copy of the appointment document, an official letter from the commissioning authority, a completed application form, recent photographs, confirmation of security clearance, and consent for data processing. The department will then review the materials in detail.

Step 2: Coordination with the Foreign Affairs Authority

Once the appointment is secured, all relevant documents are submitted to the responsible foreign affairs authority for review. At this stage, the legitimacy and necessity of the appointment are verified, the possibility of issuing a diplomatic passport is assessed, and internal approval is granted to proceed with the application process.

Step 5: Passport Issuance and Delivery

Upon approval, the documents are sent to the official printing authority for production. The passport will be assigned a unique diplomatic number and its validity period specified—generally five years or matching the duration of the appointment. Once produced, the passport is delivered personally to the holder or via secure diplomatic channels.

Step 3: Security and Background Check

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and security services will conduct a thorough background check on the applicant. This includes verifying the absence of criminal records, connections with extremist or terrorist organizations, and compliance with integrity and suitability standards (fit and proper test). If any risks are identified, the application may be declined even if a government mandate exists.

Step 6: Accreditation in the Host Country

It is important to note that a diplomatic passport alone does not automatically grant diplomatic immunities or privileges. The holder must undergo accreditation in the host country through the relevant embassy or foreign ministry. Without accreditation, the passport serves only as proof of appointment and does not provide international legal protections.
