passport for asylum seekers

A passport for asylum seekers is an official document issued by a country to individuals who are seeking protection because they fear persecution or danger in their home country. It identifies them as asylum applicants and can help them travel, access services, and apply for refugee status. This document differs from a regular passport, as it primarily supports the asylum process rather than permanent residence or citizenship. It ensures that the person’s identity is recognized during their application, and it often provides some legal protections while their case is being assessed.
