<body>
<p> A U.S. passport is not valid for travel into or through Libya
without express validation for such travel by the Department of
State. Since December 1981, a special validation by the Passport
Office is required in accordance with Section 51.71 (a)(3) of
Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations which make
unauthorized use of U.S. passports subject to criminal
penalties. Travelers seeking a validation or further information
should contact the nearest U.S. Embassy, consulate, or passport
office in the United States. The U.S. Government maintains no
diplomatic or consular representation in Libya, except very
limited services through the Embassy of Belgium, acting as the
U.S. protecting power. The United States, therefore, cannot
provide customary protective services to American citizens.
</p>
<p> Travelers to Libya' also must obtain a Libyan visa. Visitors
to Libya are required by Libyan law to bear passports printed in
Arabic. However, an official transcription of relevant passport
information on a page of the passport is acceptable. U.S.
Embassies are authorized to provide this service for Americans
whose passports contain a validation to visit Libya.
