Cuban passport

A Cuban passport (Spanish: Pasaporte cubano) is an identity document issued to citizens of Cuba to facilitate international travel.

[3] The cost of issue of this passport is about US$200 (CUC 200) and US$200 for every two years for Cubans living in the United States.

The abolition of the controversial requirement led to long lines at passport offices filled with citizens desiring to legally travel abroad; however, the lines were partly attributed to the cost of obtaining a passport doubling the next day to the equivalent of US$100 (CUC 100), the equivalent of 5 months of average state salary.

Previously the cost of a passport, exit permit, and associated paperwork added up to around US$300 (CUC 300), the equivalent of 15 months of average state salary.

The message is: in Spanish: in French: and in English: In addition to coloured fibers in all common pages, Cuban passports feature a UV-reaction-based mark of the Cuban flag and the words República de Cuba (Spanish for Republic of Cuba) on the front endpaper.
