The Kosovo passport (Albanian: Pasaporta e Kosovës; Serbian: Косовски Пасош, romanized: Kosovski Pasoš) is a travel document that is issued by the Interior Ministry of Kosovo to the citizens of Kosovo to enable them to travel abroad. The passports are also used as proof of identity within the country, along with the national identity card.
Kosovar passports comply with all the recommended standards set for machine-readable passports by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), but the country/citizenship code RKS is not within ISO 3166 and thus not ICAO-endorsed. The passport design was first disclosed on 14 March 2008.
The passport costs €30, €15 for retirees, €20 for minors and is valid for up to 10 years for adults and 5 years for minors.
