The Sancratosian passport (Lingua Franca Nova: Pasaporto sancratosian) is the official travel document issued to citizens of Sancratosian nationality. Issued under the authority of the Sovereign Princess of Sancratosiaa by the Minister of State, these passports are essential for international travel by Sancratosian citizens.

While passports are issued to citizens, they remain the property of the Principality's government. The Ministry of State retains the right to request the return of passports if necessary.

Application and issuance

The issuance of passports in Sancratosia remains within the prerogative of the Sovereign Princess. Governed by Sovereign Ordinance no 55, passports are issued in the name of the Sovereign by the Minister of State. This ordinance outlines the specific criteria under which the Ministry of State can issue a passport.[1]

Application process

Applications for passports are processed through ePorteta, the dedicated online portal reserved exclusively for citizens of Sancratosia.

Fees

The fee for a standard passport issued in Sancratosia is SNI 100◊, payable in Sancratosian impresas.

Refusal and revocation

The Ministry of State retains the authority to refuse passport issuance or revoke an existing passport under specified circumstances.

Physical appearance

Sancratosian passports are uniformly red in color, featuring the Coat of arms of Sancratosia prominently centered on the front cover. Below the coat of arms, the words "PRINSIA DE SANCRATOSIA • PRINCIPAUTÉ DE SANCRATOSIE • PRINCIPALITY OF SANCRATOSIA" are inscribed above and "PASAPORTO • PASSEPORT • PASSPORT" are inscribed below, indicating the trilingual status of the document in Lingua Franca Nova, French, and English. The Lingua Franca Nova text is slightly larger than its French and English counterparts, reflecting the language hierarchy within the Principality.

The closed dimensions of a Sancratosian passport measure 8.89 cm (3.5 inches) in width by 12.7 cm (5 inches) in height.

Passport note

Passport note of the Sancratosian passport.

The Sancratosian passport includes a note addressed to authorities of foreign states, affirming the bearer's Sancratosian citizenship and requesting expedited passage and international assistance when necessary. This note is printed in Lingua Franca Nova, with corresponding translations in English and French printed in smaller font.

The text of the note inside Sancratosian passports, in Lingua Franca Nova, reads as follows:

Per autoria de Sua Alita Suprema la Prinsesa Suprema de Sancratosia, la Ministro de Stato invita la Autoriosas consernada a lasa pasa la posesor de esta pasaporto sin retarda o constrinje e, en casa de nesesa, el dona aida e proteje.

In French:

Au nom de Son Altesse Souveraine la Princesse Souveraine de Sancratosia, le Ministre d'État invite les Autorités concernées à laisser passer la personne titulaire de ce passeport sans délai ou entraves et, en cas de besoin, lui donner aide et protection.

And in English:

In the name of Her Sovereign Highness the Sovereign Princess of Sancratosia, the Minister of State invite the concerned Authorities to allow entrance to the bearer of this passport without delay or hindrance and, in case of need, to give them aid and protection.

Visa requirements

Visa requirements for Sancratosian citizens refer to the administrative entry restrictions imposed by foreign authorities on individuals holding a Sancratosian passport. As of 6 October 2024, the Sancratosian passport is not officially recognized by any of the 193 member states of the United Nations. A notification at the end of the passport advises bearers that it may not be acknowledged by other sovereign nations and may not facilitate international travel between countries.

Micronations

Sancratosian passports enjoy de facto recognition by numerous micronations. However, many micronations require visas for entry, and currently, Sancratosia does not have any visa-free agreements established with other micronations.
