Burkinabé passports are issued to Burkinabé citizens to travel outside Burkina Faso.

Following the country's withdrawal from ECOWAS with other members of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), a new passport without the ECOWAS name or logo was released in September 2024, produced by Chinese biometrics company Emptech, along with an online application process.[2][3] A new passport with the AES name and logo was introduced in February 2025, with president Ibrahim Traoré receiving the first booklet with the new design.[4]
