Non-biometric passport (pre-EU)
Cypriot British passport (pre-1960)

Cypriot passports are issued to Cyprus citizens to travel outside of the island of Cyprus. For traveling inside the European Union, Cyprus citizens can use their ID card. The Civil Registry and Migration Department is responsible for issuing and renewing Cypriot Passports.

Despite the continuing political division of Cyprus, all Cypriot passports contain text in Greek as well as Turkish and English, as Greek and Turkish are the official languages of the Republic of Cyprus.

The new biometric passports depict a statue of goddess Aphrodite, on display in the Cyprus Museum. [1]
