Travel Document (Laissez Passer)

A Laissez-Passer is a travel document issued in exceptional cases to enable the beneficiary to return to Algeria. It cannot be used as an identity document. The Laissez-Passer has a very limited validity of (30) days only, and should be used to enter Algeria within that time frame.

Required Documents to apply for a Laissez-passer:

  • Application form.
  • Declaration of loss of the passport.
  • Proof of Algerian nationality (national identity card, military card with photograph). Driving license and birth certificate are not acceptable as they don't constitute evidence of nationality.
  • Four (4) recent photographs.
  • Travel ticket
