Important: Vatican passports are issued exclusively to Vatican City State officials and senior clergy — not to ordinary members of the public. Most Vatican residents hold Italian or other national passports. If you are applying for a visa using an Italian travel document, see our Italian passport photo guide. Photo requirements for third-country visa applications depend on the destination country.
