Tranaalation of letter No /O/^dnted January I2th 1923 froa H.B. i:%B

the iion f ble ther Resident in the persit.n Oulf a id H.E the High Gommr,
Iraq t I \ rite to explain to Y.H. the difficulties which arise in
connection with the issue of oassports in Bahrain.
The norual proco iding,if there were a British Consul in Y.H's
terr tories would be for the traveller after talcing a io«isaport from
/our officials to have it vis* by the British Consul to shew that
there was no ob ection to his landing in the country of destination,
Since however there is no Consul in your do;iains, the Consul in
Bahrain uust perform the functions i 3 far a passports i -re
concerned, '.ven if Y, had a consul in B hrain 'j he wore to is^ue
passports it would still be necessary for the bearer to h: ve it
vise by the British representative here if ho intended to travel
to any British possession or elsewhere but 1 s you hive no Consul
the \A. cts s Consul in the e natters for all foreigners.
The reason ^or this is that H.r.Gr have longstanding rgrei art
with H.I]. the 3uler of Bahrain whereby no foreign consuls . re
permitted in B^.hrain. -ven if H.I-.Gr \ ere to -r • e to one of r our
subjects i 3Uing x^assoorts here,such . -tion would at one confer
upon him fie status of Consul, since all th ■ world over such duties
are onl. per orne by Consuls. This would affar^d op ^ortunities for
other states such r 3 Persia, Iraq etc to seek pernio ion for a
consul at 3r hrain,t st ta of affairs in which, in vie T , of ihe
agree..ant with ihaii v sa,H.K. 5. could not acquiesc '. The ..lost
saitabl^ arrangement therefore se-ns to your friend,thrt Y.H. shoul
issue orders for the ia^ue of passports to your subjects before
they leave your territory.In fact this will proba ly be aore con-
venie .t dnce Y.H. will be in a position to tuice steps to ensure
that no one leaves without a pass. On iirrivs 1 here, if they wish to [
X ^roceed elsewhere the oassnort vill be vised by your friend in

- Content
The volume consists of letters (in English and Arabic), telegrams, memoranda, handwritten notes, a draft of a Najdi passport and a copy of an official Najdi passport.

The whole of the volume relates to the issuing of passports and visas to the subjects of Najd. The file opens with correspondence concerning the issuing of Najdi passports in Bahrain and British disapproval of it. The question of whether visas are required by Najdi subjects travelling to British possessions and protectorates then follows, with details on such procedures in Syria, Iraq, Trans-Jordan, and Palestine. Discussion of the idea of an official British endorsement required on all Najdi passports is also contained in the volume, with particular coverage of what terms to use when referring to the various British political offices in Arabic, which varies from country to country.
