Namibian passports are travel documents issued to citizens and permanent residents of the Republic of Namibia for identification and international travel. They are exclusively issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration.
Ordinary Namibian passports are green, with the national coat of arms emblazoned on the front cover. The diplomatic passports are red, while the official passports are blue. "REPUBLIC OF NAMIBIA" is inscribed above the representation of the coat of arms, and "PASSPORT" is inscribed below. (All are written in capital letters in a Thames-Serial style font.) The Biometric logo also appears above "PASSPORT". All information in the passport is printed in English, with the photo page also translated into French. There are three types of passport booklets: the ordinary passport, the official passport, and the diplomatic passport.
