The Bethlehem Passport is a document issued by Open Bethlehem conferring citizenship of Bethlehem to anyone who supports the ideals of an open, democratic society and makes a contribution to Bethlehem's well-being and survival. The Passport citation reads: In that the bearer of this passport is a citizen of Bethlehem; that they recognize this ancient city provides a light to the world, and to all people who uphold the values of a just and open society; that they will remain a true friend to Bethlehem through its imprisonment, and that they will strive to keep the ideals of Bethlehem alive as long as the wall stands; we ask you to respect the bearer of the passport and to let them pass freely.
