French passport

<p>A French passport  is an identity document issued to French citizens. Besides enabling the bearer to travel internationally and serving as indication of <a href="/facts/French_nationality_law/wsCLxhKn">French nationality</a> (but not proof; the possession of a French passport only establishes the presumption of French nationality according to French law), the passport facilitates the process of securing assistance from French consular officials abroad or other <a href="/facts/European_Union_member_states/hsFC1pJH">European Union member states</a> in case a French consular is absent, if needed.
</p><p>Every French citizen is also a <a href="/facts/Citizenship_of_the_European_Union/7TggdEhq">citizen of the European Union</a>.
