Ethiopian passport

The Ethiopian passport (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ ፓስፖርት) is a travel document issued to citizens of Ethiopia for international travel.

The document is a biometric machine-readable passport with a burgundy cover with the text "Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia" above the coat of arms, and the text "passport" below it in Amharic and English.

Nelson Mandela was clandestinely issued an Ethiopian passport in 1961.
