How to Obtain a Cuban Passport
Nationals of Cuba require a government-issued passport for international travel. A passport grants Cuban citizens entry into foreign countries as well as re-entry into their own. It is a legal document that serves as identification overseas, and must be applied for in person at a local passport agency. Resources for obtaining a Cuban passport are available abroad at any Embassy or Consulate of Cuba.
