Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst".Template:Infobox Identity document A Yemeni passport is a government document used by citizens of Yemen for international travel.[1] Yemeni passports are issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the Ministry of the Interior, and by some Yemeni consulates and embassies around the world.Template:Efn

Yemeni passports are typically 48 pages long and have a dark blue cover inscribed with the Emblem of Yemen (and the words "Republic of Yemen" and "Passport" in English and Arabic). As Arabic is a right-to-left script, the passport pages read from right to left. The passport is valid for six years after the date of issue.

Before 1967, when Aden was a British colony (Colony of Aden), British passports were given to travelers from there.

Security tags

Many security tags are found in the Yemeni passport to prevent fraud. Security tags are located on the first page. The barcode and two-dimensional watermark are located in another. When exposed to light, the passport shows a map of Yemen and the country's logo.

When exposed to light, the passport page number, written in Arabic and English, is visible at the top of the sheet on both sides. The edge of the paper contains a silver stripe flag of the nation repeated 10 times and the word 'Yemen' written in Arabic and English. The emblem of the nation is printed three times in the middle.
