Your own Passport and supporting documentation:
As of early 2009, twelve Member States have introduced CARICOM
passports. These states are Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize,
Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia,
St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and
Tobago.
[1][2][3]
CARICOM members who have not yet issued the common passport are the
Bahamas, Haiti, and Montserrat. As Montserrat is a British Overseas
Territory, citizens of Montserrat became full citizens of the
United Kingdom in 2002, and so a common passport is unlikely to be
introduced for them. The CARICOM passport creates awareness that
CARICOM nationals are nationals of the Community, as well as a
specific country.
[edit] Passport designs
The passports of all members have the same colour scheme:
- Dark blue for civilians,
- Green for government officials, and
- Red for diplomats.
In the case of Suriname, the Passport is adorned with the national
symbols for the Republic of Suriname, as well as the CARICOM
insignia on its cover. President of the Republic of Suriname Ronald
Venetiaan received the first of these new CARICOM passports.
Antigua and Barbuda's design is to feature the country's Coat of
Arms and country name as well as the CARICOM logo. The passports
for Suriname were created by the Canadian Banknote Company Ltd.
(CBN) Under a five-year programme with a price tag of US$1.5
million. It is believed other member states of CARICOM will now
soon follow with the introduction of their own branded version of
the national 'CARICOM' Passport.
