Passport Carrier Release

Okay kiddo, do you know what a passport is? It’s a very important document you need to travel to other countries. Now, when you have a passport and you want to go somewhere, you need to use it to show people that you are allowed to go to that place.

But sometimes, people change their minds or something happens that makes it so they can’t use their passport anymore. In that case, they might want to give their passport to someone else who can use it instead.

That’s where passport carrier release comes in. It’s like permission for someone else to use the passport. But it’s not just a simple hand-off. There are rules and regulations that need to be followed, and it’s not always possible for someone else to use the passport.

So, a passport carrier release is basically like an official way to say, “Hey, I can’t use this passport, but I want someone else to be able to. Here’s the passport and all the necessary paperwork to show that it’s okay.”
