Emergency passports are issued to assist Icelandic nationals in need, mostly to ensure their passage home or to the next place of application for passports. An emergency passport is never valid for more than 12 months.
Emergency passports are valid for travel within Europe. They are not recommended for travel outside of Europe because they are not machine readable.
