Abstract:

Saint Lucia's Passports Act of 1991 directs the Minister for Home Affairs to issue a passport upon the application of any person who proves that he is a citizen of Saint Lucia. Passports can be withdrawn or cancelled on the grounds of national security or if the holder has been convicted of an offense involving drug trafficking or if the Minister has reasonable grounds to believe that the holder is involved in drug trafficking. No one over the age of 16 years can enter Saint Lucia without a valid passport or other document establishing his nationality and identity and augmented by a photograph. The Act also sets out the penalties for persons guilty of an offense against this Act.
