==Issuance and Eligibility==
Civil registration and the issuance of internal passports is primarily the responsibility of the federal subjects - states and territories, federal districts, overseas provinces and possessions, and Aboriginal tribal authorities. The Federal government issues internal passports for special classes of persons, such as military personnel, military dependents living in overseas bases who would not be eligible for state passports, and residents of minor possessions administered directly by the Federal government (e.g. [[Minor Kiravian Overseas Possessions#New Ardana Island|New Ardana Island]]). During the Confederal Republics era and the early years of the Federacy, the national government issued special internal passports for government agents travelling on official business. This practice has been discontinued, except for constitutional executive officers (Prime Executive, Second Executive, [[Emergency Backup Executive]]), judges of the [[Federal Consistory]], and certain officers of Federal law enforcement agencies.
''This entire section is cap and will be thoroughly gutted.''

Eligibility for a passports is governed by the '''Pan-Kiravian Passport Compact''' and the laws of individual states, territories, etc. In order to be eligible for a passport, one must be a ''estuvimduv'' (conventionally translated as "subject", but sometimes as "belonger") of the issuing subnational government. An ''estuvimduv'' may or may not be a Kiravian national, and the PKPC requires that all passports clearly indicate the bearer's nationality (or lack thereöf), as well as whether the bearer is a Kiravian citizen, metic, or "simple national". While states may issue passports to persons of any age, most set age minima and have shorter renewal periods for those under 17. Under the PKPC, states may not set the minimum age any higher than 15. Children under the age of 15 may travel on the passport of a legal guardian.

A major difference between identification policy in Kiravia and other federations is that passport holders do not need to be domiciled in the state that issues their passport. Kiravian law differentiates between state residency and state subjecthood, and the Fundamental Statute requires that citizens/subjects of one state be afforded [eu/article whatever privileges] when resident in another state. As such, there are comparatively few incentives for Kiravians to obtain new passports after moving to a new state, and because many states allow passports to be renewed online or by post, many states have large minority populations who remain subjects of other states. In fact, only 46% of residents of the [[District of Coīnvra]] hold District of Coīnvra passports.

State subjecthood and passport status does not affect a person's state/territorial tax liability, which is tied to their legal domicile.
