Summary[edit]

Nansen passports, originally and officially stateless persons passports, were internationally recognized refugee travel documents from 1922 to 1938, first issued by the League of Nations to stateless refugees. They quickly became known as "Nansen passports" for their promoter, the Norwegian statesman and polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen.

Text on the Nansen passport renewal stamp: League of Nations; High Commision for Refugees; Geneva Resolution 12 May 1926; 5 Gold Fr. (...) Portrait of Fridtjof Nansen.


Norsk bokmål: Fra utstilling om Nansenpasset i Nasjonalbiblioteket i Oslo: Brev fra Henri Reymond (for Chief of the Refugee Service ved Société des nations Bureau international du travail / League of Nations International Labour Office, Genève) til Dr. Fridtjof Nansen (Lysaker, Norway) 13. august 1926 med Nansen-frimerke verdi «5 Gold Fr.» Eier: Nasjonalbiblioteket.

Nansen-pass var et internasjonalt anerkjent identitetsbevis til statsløse flyktninger etter første verdenskrig. Det ble utstedt av Folkeforbundet og fikk navn etter initiativtakeren Fridtjof Nansen. Ordninga ble innført i 1922, og ialt rundt 450 000 pass ble utstedt.

På passkonferansen til Folkeforbundet i Geneve 12.-18. mai 1926 ble det vedtatt å innføre en egen oblat med bilde av Fridtjof Nansen på. Under den samme konferansen ble det bestemt at Nansenpasset ga eieren rett til å returnere til landet som hadde utstedt det. Det ble også vedtatt et oblatgebyr på fem gullfrancs. Inntekten skulle gå til flyktninghjelpa.
