Paraguayan passports are issued to Paraguayan citizens for travel outside of Paraguay. For traveling to full and associated member states of Mercosur (except for Guyana and Suriname), Paraguayan citizens can also use their civil identity cards (Cédula de Identidad Civil).

Paraguayan passports are valid for travel to all countries, although travel to certain countries may require visas. The Paraguayan passport meets the recommended standards (size, composition, layout, technology) of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established by Exhibit 9303.2 3 4 5 6.

There are three types of passports and the Paraguayan government has been issuing biometric passports as standard since April 1, 2010.

Paraguayan consular passports can be issued to Paraguayan citizens living abroad. Consular passports are printed at the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Asunción and are then delivered to the embassy or consulate concerned. Consular passports are valid for a period of five years and are not renewable.^{[citation needed]}
