What does it even mean for a passport to be revoked?
- marshray 13y agoIt means that it is made not valid by the issuing country.
- lawnchair_larry 13y agoI'm wondering about this question myself. It's not as if the facts of your identity change because a country revokes a document. Is it just a policy issue, that there are no countries that allow entry without showing a passport? It certifies his identity, not his rights. I'm not sure how you can suddenly claim it's not valid, without claiming that the original certification was found to be incorrect.
- dreamfactory 13y agoIt sounds like the old Russian system where you couldn't leave the country without a passport (and it was made very hard to get one).
