HISTORY

Until independence establishing there were used Soviet-style Passports in Belarus . In spite of the fact that the citizenship of Byelorussian SSR (like citizenship of all other soviet republics) was recognized in USSR , Soviet passports never contained records about Byelorussian SSR citizenship. Soviet passports issued by the Ministry Of Internal Affairs of Byelorussian SSR (as well as birth certificates) had records in both Belarusian and Russian.
