A Bhutanese passport is a document which authorises and facilitates travel and other activities in Bhutan or by Bhutanese citizens.

In the Kingdom of Bumthang, which constitutes a part of modern day Bhutan, feudal passbooks or 'dzeng'(Dzongkha: ཛེང) were issued to court messengers in order to travel from kingdom to kingdom.[1] Diplomacy and mediating were crucially important measures in pre-modern Bhutan chiefdoms.[2]

Foreign travel passports are issued to citizens of Bhutan for international travel. New Bhutanese passports are issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[3]

Languages

The passport contains text in English and Dzongkha (Tibetan script).
