The Ministry of Interior of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provide in agreement with the participating central authorities pursuant to § 7 of Act No. 63 / 1965 Coll., on Travel Documents:
Types of travel documents
(1) The travel documents of citizens of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic to cross the national borders of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and to stay abroad are:
(a) a passport, a special passport, a service passport and a diplomatic passport provided with an appropriate travel document;
(b) a travel document, a travel pass, a border pass, a cross-border pass and other travel documents to be issued under international agreements negotiated by the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic;
(c) a passport;
(d) a travel roster which may exceptionally be issued as a common travel document to participants in a mass trip abroad.
(2) If he travels abroad under 15 years of age with his parents and does not have his own travel document, he shall be entered in the parents' travel document.
(3) The travel document for stateless persons residing in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic is an identity card.
(4) Travel documents are the property of the Czechoslovak State.
The travel document shall contain the holder's personal data and territorial and temporal validity data.
(1) The passport is issued with territorial validity to all countries of the world for as a rule 5 years; the validity of the passport may be extended.
(2) Data in the exit clause are crucial for the use of the passport to travel abroad and to stay abroad (§ 6).
(1) The passport travel annex is evidence of travel to the states listed therein with which the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic has concluded agreements allowing travel on the basis of this travel document.
(2) The tourist pass, together with the citizens' card, is evidence of travel to contractually defined areas of the neighbouring state.
(3) The border pass, together with the citizens' card, is a document authorising a citizen who is resident in the border zone to travel to contractually defined areas of a neighbouring state.
(4) The cross-border pass shall be issued on the basis of interstate agreements with neighbouring States and shall entitle a citizen who carries out work at national borders to move within a contractually determined distance within the territory of the neighbouring State.
The travel card is a replacement travel document for each trip, with a territorial and time-limited purpose. ČS is issued to citizens who do not have another travel document, in particular to return to the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and, in cases of urgency, to the countries that recognise it as a travel document.
Exit clause
(1) The exit clause contains the information for which States, for what purpose, for how many journeys and for what period they pay.
(2) The award of the exit clause may be refused or the exit clause granted may be revoked or restricted for the same reasons for which the issue of the travel document may be refused, the travel document issued may be withdrawn or limited.
(3) If a minor travels abroad under 15 years of age together with his or her parents and is registered in their passports, he or she must also appear in the exit clause of one of them.
(4) Travel and residence in the Republic of Bulgaria, the People's Republic of Hungary, the People's Republic of Mongolia, the German Democratic Republic, the People's Republic of Poland, the Socialist Republic of Romania and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics need not be accompanied by an exit clause.
