PIP: This Chilean decree approves regulations on passports and travel documents. It provides that Chilean nationals must obtain an ordinary passport in order to enter or leave the country. Ordinary passports can be issued to an individual or a family. Individual passports are valid for 10 years and can be renewed; family passports are valid for the same period unless the oldest child in the family reaches the age of 18, at which time the passports expire. Only families with 5 or fewer members may obtain a family passport. Persons requesting passports must present an identity card, obtain a certificate from the police, and pay a tax. The decree authorizes the Civil Registry to issue travel documents to foreigners whose country of nationality has no diplomatic relations with Chile or who are unable to provide their own passports. The documents can be used only to leave the country. The Civil Registry is also authorized to issue travel documents to stateless persons and refugees resident in Chile and to the children of foreigners temporarily in the country and the foreign-born children of Chilean nationals. These documents are valid for 2 years to enter and leave the country.^ieng
