Intergalactic Passport Intergalactic Passports were paper documents delivered by the Imperial Senate and in the name of the Emperor Palpatine at the time of the Galactic Civil War . These documents allowed their bearers to travel freely throughout the star systems controlled by the government of the Galactic Empire . The passports included many details about their bearers ' identity , including their name , address , country , planet , system , galaxy , date and place of birth , height , weight , bloodtype , hair and eye color . They also included foreign exchange facility information that the bearer used , including the date accessed , the amount of currency issued , and the bank said currency was issued . They even included identification for the type of spacecraft they were legally qualified to utilize , plus the grade said spacecraft qualified under and the planet the identification was legalized under . In addition , they contained a warning against using it in any systems inside the galaxy that are not controlled by the Imperial government . Contrary to the otherwise similar Galactic Passport , the Intergalactic Passport was entirely written using the High Galactic alphabet . It also allowed their bearers to travel through the six primary galaxies , unlike the otherwise similar Galactic Passport . Other than inter - galactic travel , the passports were good for Hoth , Yavin 4 , Tatooine ( as well as Mos Eisley ) , Corellia , Rotkan , and Utapau . A similar passport existed during the time leading up to the Battle of Yavin , although this one was authorized by the President of the Imperial Senate . It is unclear whether this intergalactic passport allowed for travel outside the galaxy , although it does grant its owner unhindered and undelayed access to various star systems and spaceports to a certain extent and at the very least allows travel from outside the galaxy to inside it , and was not a viable substitute for planetary passports issued on Earth and its various nation - states . It also banned any unofficial changes , and requested for the name , sex , birthplace , birthdate , the issue date of the passport , the user ' s home planet and galaxy ( the latter if the user was extra - galactic in origin ) , their rank if belonging to the military , indicating whether they flew X - wings , the bearer ' s signature , and a photograph of the bearer . It also required that it adhere to section H467B - 6 of the Galactic Code relating to regulations governing interplanetary and interstellar travel , and also gave pertinent information such as exchanging local currencies for Interstellar Credit s at the StarBank main office at Terminal 7 of Mos Eisley , Tatooine , medical suggestions for the Hoth asteroid field , Tatooine , and the Dagobah system ' s various planets , and also suggesting that the user , if travelling near Imperial strongholds that were directly controlled by the Emperor , get permission from the Commander of the Dantooine Base before heading there , as well as maintain regular contact with the Base via established communication codes . Behind the scenes . An official statement in the passport mentioned the " six primary galaxies . " The meaning of that statement is undetermined , but it is known that the " Star Wars " galaxy was orbited by seven satellite dwarf galaxies : the Rishi Maze , Firefist , and Companions Cresh through Grek .
