Serbian passport (Serbian: Пасош Србије, romanized: Pasoš Srbije) is the primary document of international travel issued to nationals of Serbia. Passports are issued and renewed by the Serbian Police on behalf of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or, if the citizen resides abroad, by the Serbian diplomatic missions. Besides serving as proof of identity and of citizenship, it facilitates the process of securing assistance from Serbian consular officials abroad, if needed.

The Serbian biometric passports were introduced on 7 July 2008 and were handed out in the beginning of August in the same year.[5] All outdated Yugoslav passports became invalid on 31 December 2011.[6] Citizens can not have multiple Serbian passports at the same time.
