Slovenian passport

1

Slovenian passports are issued to citizens of Slovenia to facilitate international travel. Every Slovenian citizen is also a citizen of the European Union. The passport, along with the national identity card allows for free rights of movement and residence in any of the states of the European Union, European Economic Area and Switzerland, as a result of the right of free movement and residence granted in Article 21 of the EU Treaty. The Slovenian ID card is also valid for travel to most other former Yugoslav republics: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.

Physical appearance

Slovenian passports are the same burgundy colour as other European passports, with the Slovenian Coat of arms emblazoned in the centre of the front cover. The words ' (English: European Union) and ' (English: Republic of Slovenia) are inscribed above the coat of arms and the word (English: Passport) is inscribed below. Passports issued in officially bilingual areas of Slovenia also have Italian or Hungarian text below the Slovene. These are ', ' and ' in Italian and ', ' and ' in Hungarian. Slovenian passports have the standard biometric symbol at the bottom and use the standard EU design.
