Government services

The Government of Tartupaluk is committed to providing essential information in both official languages of the Principality; nevertheless, the process of making Inuktitut a full and equal working language of Government will take time to complete. It is the Government's intention to make more and more Inuktitut-language content available on this website on an ongoing basis.

In the meantime, if you are a Tartupalummiut national having trouble accessing a Government service as a result of its not being offered in Inuktitut, petition the Prince (in English or Inuktitut) to have a translation of this service made and his office will do its best to accommodate your request.

Citizenship

Tartupalummiut nationals will be informed of the necessary steps required for citizenship upon their acquisition of Tartupalummiut nationality. At this time, citizenship applications will not be processed online, although an online application process is in the works.

Passports

Non-machine readable travel documents are issued by the Office of the Prince, valid for all countries, subject to any visa or other entry regulations of countries to be visited. These documents can be obtained by any Tartupalummiut national by petitioning the Prince. There is no charge associated with these documents.

Secure ICAO 9303-compliant machine readable travel documents (MRTDs) will be issued by the Principality over the coming months. Tartupalummiut nationals and stateless persons registered with the Office of the Greffier will be able to apply for these documents once they are made available. A nominal application fee will be associated with the issue of these documents. Holders of valid non-machine readable travel documents issued by the Office of the Prince will be informed when MRTDs are made available.
