A French passport (French: Passeport français) is an identity document issued to French citizens. Besides enabling the bearer to travel internationally and serving as an indication of French citizenship (but not proof; the possession of a French passport only establishes the presumption of French citizenship according to French law), the passport facilitates the process of securing assistance from French consular officials abroad or other European Union member states in case a French consular is absent, if needed.
