UNLP can be used as an identity card (like a national passport), but only on official United Nations missions. As well as for an individual state’s passport, in some countries you can not get a visa if you have a UN passport (such as Kenya , the UK , Ireland , Germany , Luxembourg , Lebanon , and others), or it can be obtained by immediate request .
Most employees of international organizations have a blue UNLP (up to level D-1), which is legally equivalent to a service passport . Particularly high officials have a red UNLP (level D-2 and above), and depending on their status, they may have certain privileges, and therefore the red UNLP is similar (in legal status) to a diplomatic passport
