The Transnistrian passport is issued to citizens of Transnistria for the purpose of international travel and for the purpose of legal identification within Transnistria.

Validity

As Transnistria is not recognised by the majority of nations of the world (with the exceptions of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, all of which are also mostly unrecognised), a Transnistrian passport is not valid for travel to most countries in the world. As dual nationality is permitted, most people affected are entitled to either a Moldovan, Russian or Ukrainian passport for travel abroad.[1]
