Mongolian passport

Common card · No. 276590

The Mongolian passport (Mongolian: Монгол Улсын Гадаад Паспорт) is a passport issued to Mongolian citizens for purposes of travel outside Mongolia. Mongolian citizens have visa-free or visa on arrival access to 62 countries and territories. Passports are issued by the General Authority for State Registration, an implementing agency of the Ministry of Justice and Internal Affairs of Mongolia. In medieval times, the Mongol Empire issued paiza or gerege to officials and emissaries, authorizing them to claim facilities for travel throughout the empire using the yam or örtöö system of relay stations which provided food and remounts. During the Mongolian People's Republic era, all citizens were required to register and apply for a civil passport as a primary form of identification. This was replaced with the current Citizen Identity Card in the early 2000s.
