A diplomatic passport is a special type of passport issued to diplomats and government officials. It grants them certain privileges and immunities while traveling abroad, allowing them to perform their official duties without interference. This passport is typically issued by the government of a country and is recognized by other nations. Holders of a diplomatic passport may enjoy benefits such as exemption from visa requirements in many countries and protection from arrest or detention. However, these privileges are intended for official business and do not apply to personal travel. The use of a diplomatic passport is governed by international agreements, such as the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
