• The passport does not fit into information about the children, you need to issue individual documents for them.

When it is useful

1. You visit the conflicting countries

Some states clash over disputed territories, religious and ethnic differences. For travelers, this is a problem: if get a visa and visit one of the hostile countries, may not be allowed in another. That's where the visa controversy may arise:

• Georgia and Abkhazia.
• Armenia and Azerbaijan. Countries in conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
