Icelandic passports (Icelandic: íslenskt vegabréf) are issued to citizens of Iceland for the purpose of international travel. Beside serving as proof of Icelandic citizenship, they facilitate the process of securing assistance from Icelandic consular officials abroad (or public officials in the mission of another Nordic country in case an Icelandic consular official is absent).[4][5]

As of 2023, 94.9% of Icelandic citizens possess an Icelandic passport.[6] It is one of three official documents issued by the Icelandic government, the others being the Icelandic identity card and the Icelandic driving licence.

The passport allows for the freedom of movement in any of the states of EFTA[7] and the EU/EEA. This is because Iceland is a member state of EFTA, and by virtue of it also being a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) and part of the Schengen Area. For travel within the Nordic countries no identity documentation is legally required for Nordic citizens due to the Nordic Passport Union.
