The Hon 'bla tha Political Resident
in tha Persian Gulf, Bushirt.
Sir,
I have tha honour to ask for instructiaas in the follcw-
-in* natter.
Applio»t,ion« for C»rt,ifl.at.s of Ijjd.ntity to proc.d to
India .te. ar. fr.qu.ntly appli.d fsr h.r. by iridiTiduals who
s/tat,, that th.y ar. Muscat ar Kuwait subject., but ar. not in
pnss.ssion of an X^d.ntity Certificate to that effect. Scne of
then atlrit that they did net trouble to take out a Certificate
lerore ccrin*. here and ethers state that they hare lost their
csrtif icates. They are tenerally unknown tc ue ana the Hit i
hare Mtherto adoptee' is tf decline to issue a peralt for India.
In the case of journeys te other Gulf Perts whic- is leaa
important, a Certificate of identity is siron- -partioulurly if
It is t« return to their natlro pert. «i t:ie fact tl.at the; u-e
without an Identity Certificate io tlcoet invariably du: to
their negligence in haring taken no steps to obtain one
prior to leaving . 1 think, it right that they should be refuged
a pass to indi.- fror here. u«uttl«»» ntuy persons aitiltrly
leave Bahra^ without a Certificate and apply elsewhere for
raises to India etc. If certificates be issued to unknown
persons who have nothing to prove their identity, the whole
systei. would aeen to be useless and it is quite pessible for a
perecE who has been refused a certificate at one port to ae
elsewhere and get one. Do you approve that Political Agents
should not issue Certificates t® Imiia for persons who normally
reside outside their juriadictien who are not in possession of a
certificate
