Passports & Travel

Apply for a new Bobmanian passport, renew an existing passport, and read official travel advisories issued by the Department of Immigration.

Overview

The Bobmanian passport is the official travel document of the Republic of Bobmania. It is issued by the Department of Immigration (DOI) to citizens of the Republic and remains valid for ten years from the date of issue, or until it goes through the washing machine, whichever comes first.

Not yet a citizen? You must hold Bobmanian citizenship before applying for a passport. Learn how to apply for citizenship.

First-Time Applicants

If you have never held a Bobmanian passport, you must apply as a first-time applicant. You will need:

Your Certificate of Citizenship
One recent passport photograph (neutral expression; the DOI does not accept photographs taken mid-sneeze)
A completed Passport Application (DOI Form P-1)
Payment of the applicable fee

Renew a Passport

You may renew your passport using the Passport Application if your most recent passport:

Is undamaged, apart from normal wear;
Was issued within the last 15 years; and
Was issued in your current name, or you can document your name change.

Passports that have been lost, stolen, or eaten must be reported to the DOI before a replacement can be issued.
