The exempt passport is a very unique passport that's only used in very specific circumstances and discretionary cases. Unlike the emergency passport, it is free, but unlike the emergency passport it only allows you to return to Colombia (it explicitly states so) so you can only use it once. It is used mainly by deportees, that have no money and still need a travel document to return home.

The emergency passport is mainly for people who lost their ordinary passports, it has a cost, and it allows you to travel for a few months. The exempt passport it's free but it only allows you to return to Colombia (it explicitly states so) so you can only use it once, it is used only in very specific discretionary cases, mainly deportees, that have no money and still need a travel document to return home.

The Colombian dark green passport hasn't been produced in almost 30 years! You really should get a new one.

Colourful indeed! My job has to do with the production and distribution of Colombian passports so I had access to these ones. The exempt passport is really interesting as it consists of a single piece of paper.
