Salvadoran passports (Spanish: Pasaporte salvadoreño) are issued to citizens of El Salvador to travel outside the country.
Passports are issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or, if the citizen resides abroad, at the Salvadoran embassy. Besides serving as proof of identity and of citizenship, they facilitate the process of securing assistance from Salvadoran consular officials abroad, if needed. Citizens can not have multiple Salvadoran passports at the same time.
