Czech passport
The passport is issued by the Interior Ministry (Ministerstvo vnitra), and as is internationally customary remains property of the Czech Republic and can be withdrawn at any time.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sporadically issues a list of nations with visa-free travel arrangements with the Czech Republic.Czech passports adhere to the common EU design and International Civil Aviation Organization requirements The lower area of the data page contains the Machine-readable zone.Pages six and seven now bear translations of the data fields into eighteen languages of the European Union and Russian.The most notable change is the addition of two fingerprints, one from the index finger on each hand in order to conform to new EU regulations.With the entry of the Czech Republic into the European Union in 2004 this is no longer the current series issued.
