What is Caricom Passport?
The CARICOM passport is a passport document issued by the 15 member states of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) for their citizens. It can be used both for intra-regional and international travel. The CARICOM passports are written with the words “CC Caricom Community” as uniform standard in dark blue covers.
OECS
Nationals of Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines are also OECS citizens. They may use a member-state issued drivers licence, national identification card, voters registration card or social security card for travel within the OECS area
