Republic of Texas Passport Information

(PPIF-040311)

The passport is one of the outstanding symbols of a sovereign nation. No government in the world is truly

"legitimate" unless it can issue a passport that is accepted in other countries. A passport is also the ultimate symbol of

citizenship (nationality), identity, and protection. Almost every passport in the world has language inside requesting safe

passage, lawful aid, and protection for the passport holder. With few exceptions, a passport is usually required to enter

and depart most foreign countries and also to return to one's own country. If you travel to a country where a passport is

not required, you should be in possession of documentary evidence of your Texian Nationality and identity to facilitate

reentry into Texas. Travelers should check passport and visa requirements with consular officials of the countries to be

visited well in advance of their departure date.

Application for a passport may be made to the Secretary of State, any authorized passport ofﬁce, or (in the near

future) many Republic of Texas Land Centers. All Texian Nationals who wish to travel abroad should obtain individual

passports in their own names. Applicants age 18 years and older must apply directly to the Secretary of State or his

designee if it is their ﬁrst time applying. For children age 17 and under, a parent or legal guardian may execute an

application for them. The Republic of Texas Ofﬁce of the Secretary of State will normally issue a passport to any Texian

National who meets the basic requirements, i.e. proof of birth place and date, Texian Nationality (by afﬁdavit or

declaration), avers to good conduct and contributes a suitable fee to the Republic. All statements, declarations, afﬁdavits

and averments under natural (common) law are done under penalty of perjury, and are therefore accepted at face value,

unless or until there arises any question as to their veracity and the matter is heard by a three-judge panel, appointed by

the Secretary of Judicial Affairs. ("Your word is your bond.") Please be aware that the requirement of a birth record is not

ours. It is you who need us to have this information (in conﬁdence) so that we may be able to help you if you are abroad

and have lost your passport and other documents that identify you.

There are distinct advantages to holding a Republic of Texas Passport. One of the outstanding advantages is that

the Holder, rather than the state (or government), becomes the lawful owner of the document, when issued to a qualiﬁed

Texian National. As with any private property, the only way it could be forfeited is by due course of law, because of

fraud, or its misuse in the commission of a common-law crime, or upon conviction of treason against the Republic, or

upon swearing allegiance or adherence to a foreign power, thereby forfeiting Texian Nationality.

All passport applicants must apply in writing. Applicants must submit the following items to a passport facility:

Completed Application for Passport (available at the passport ofﬁce in Overton, many Land Centers, or on the Web).

This form may be completed in advance; however, it must be signed by you in person before two Texian witnesses.

Proof of Texian Nationality (Citizenship). You may use one of the following: (1) previous Republic of Texas passport;

(2) Declaration (or Afﬁdavit) of Texian Nationality or Citizenship. Form is available online. [Also see "Eligibility Policy"]

Proof of Identity. An authentic copy of your birth record. Use one of the following: Birth Certiﬁcate, Certiﬁcation of

Birth Registration, Family Bible Record, Hospital Birth Certiﬁcate, a copy of the picture identiﬁcation page from any

previous passport (including a U.S. passport), or an afﬁdavit signed by two witnesses who have personal knowledge of

your birth.

Two passport photographs. Photographs must be 2 × 2 inches in size. The image size from the bottom of the chin to the

top of the head should be between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches. They may be in color or black and white. They must be full

face, front view with a plain white or off-white background. Photographs should be taken in normal, but respectable street

attire (at least a regular shirt or blouse - no T-shirts, please - [Dress clothing is not required, but preferred]), no hat or

headgear which would cover the face or forehead. (The whole face and ears, as well as half of the head must be visible.)

The fee. A Postal Money Order for 75.00, OR 10-oz. of Fine Silver, is donated to the Republic of Texas Treasury for each

individual passport. M.O. must be payable to Earl Forester or to the next Treasurer by name. (This stipulation will

change after the Republic has regained the sovereignty over Texas soil.)

In addition to the items listed above, if your passport was lost or stolen, you will need to complete and submit a

Passport Replacement Form (available at passport facilities and on the Web). In these cases, you will need to submit a

new set of photographs and a fee of 20 FRN or 2 oz. of Fine Silver.

Passport renewals can be handled through the mail in most instances. To apply for renewal: (1) you can submit your

most recent passport, if it is not mutilated, altered, or damaged; (2) you were at least 16 years old when your most recent

passport was issued; (3) you were issued your most recent passport less than 15 years ago; and (4) you use the same name

as on your most recent passport, OR, you have had your name changed by marriage or otherwise and can submit proper

documentation to reﬂect your name changes.
