The procedure for issuing passes for representatives appointed by partner countries

1. These procedures will be applicable to official representatives of partner countries appointed by the States participating in the North Atlantic Cooperation Council and/or the PIM.

I. Access to objects

2. Designated representatives of the partner countries and service personnel will be issued passes of the established pattern. 3. The pass, which will contain information about the owner (full name, nationality, validity period of the pass and photo), will be valid for one year; after sending a corresponding request, it can be extended. The pass provides access to non-secret areas of the facility. When accessing protected areas, the pass holder is treated as a visitor. When visiting protected areas, a representative of the partners must be accompanied. A representative with a permanent NATO pass, to whom the visitor arrived, is responsible for escorting from the duty room. The duty rooms are located at the main entrance and at the northern entrances to the corridor "K". Holders of passes issued to representatives of partners have the right to guide visitors only to their offices and certain office premises (Na and Nb).

II. Procedures

4. To receive passes, you must submit a biography to the Executive Secretariat. Service personnel who have not provided this information should fill out the attached form, which can be obtained from the Executive Secretariat. After all the above is completed, the Executive Secretariat will inform the partner representatives of the need to arrive at the duty room in the lobby of the main entrance of the NATO headquarters to complete the prescribed formalities, such as photographing and issuing passes. The liaison officers will need to replace their existing passes with new ones.
