The Knights of Malta Knights act in many respects as an independent state in many respects.

So far, about 5 diplomatic passports have been issued by the Malta Knights, making it the world’s rarest passport. The group’s first passport was given to members in the fourteenth century as ambassadors to introduce their missions around the world. Today, these passports are only awarded to specific members; Among the Supreme Professor, members of the Governor, heads and diplomatic bodies, as well as supervisors and heads of national associations.

Cover with golden letters, the name of the organization is written in the French language “Ordre Souveain Militaire de Malte” and the phrase “Passport Diplomatiique” below. Each passport contains 2 pages that are printed with the Malta Cross. Holders of this diplomatic passport can travel freely to five independent countries that have official relations with the Malta Knights.
