Democratic People's Republic of Korea passports are issued to citizens of Democratic People's Republic of Korea to facilitate international travel.

The privilege of a passport in North Korea is limited to a select few. Membership of the Korean Workers' Party is essentially a requisite.

In the Passport note it says:

Korean

이 려권소지자는 조선민주주의인민공화국의 보호를 받습니다. 이 려권소지자를 지장없이 통과시켜 주며 그에게 필요한 편의와 보호를 베풀어 줄것을 모든 관계자들에게 요청하는 바입니다.

English

The holder of the passport is under protection of Democratic People's Republic of Korea. All of those whom (it) may concern are hereby requested to allow the holder to pass freely without delay or hindrance, and to afford the holder with assistance and protection as may be necessary.
