Nansen Passports

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Nansen Passports 

temporary identification cards that replaced passports for stateless persons and refugees. They were introduced by the League of Nations on the initiative of F. Nansen, after whom they were named.

Persons possessing Nansen passports could be admitted to any country that had signed the Geneva Agreements.
