Pope Francis received a new Argentinean passport

Representatives of the Argentinean authorities arrived in the Vatican to take fingerprints from the Pontiff. Since 2011, according to the law of Argentina, photos on documents should be carried out with their heads uncovered, however, exceptions are provided "for religious reasons." Photos of new documents have already circled the Internet.

Surname: Bergoglio (Bergoglio), first name: Jorge Mario (Bergoglio). Pope Francis received a new passport. Argentinean Ambassador Juan Pablo Cafiero visited the Pontiff in his apartment in the Vatican Gardens, taking with him a laptop computer to take fingerprints and take a picture of the head of the Catholic Church. The new passport and identity card still smell of printing ink, they contain photos and individual data of the Pope, like any other citizen of Argentina. The documents a few days ago were executed by the authorities of Buenos Aires at the request of the Pontiff himself.

"Pope Francis wants to travel the world like a simple Argentinean. Therefore, he requested a new passport and identity card," said Buenos Aires Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo to reporters. “This act in relation to our country fills us with pride,” he added and emphasized that the former archbishop did not ask for any simplifications in the process of paperwork.

The government distributed images of documents that readily read, among other things, first name, last name, and expiration date, February 14, 2029 — these data are located next to Bergoglio’s photo in the vestments of the Pope. It is interesting that according to the Argentinean law since 2011 photos on documents must be carried out with their heads uncovered. However, there is a reservation in the law that exceptions are possible “for religious reasons”.

News with photos immediately took first positions in the news online portals and on Twitter. First of all, the articles are about the Pontiff's love for Buenos Aires and his words that this is “his place”. When asked by journalists what he feels for Argentina while abroad, Bergoglio without hesitation replied: "Nostalgia."
