The Natural Congregation of Yahweh is what the secular world, modern traditional 'Christians',

and the modern 'Jews', would phrase as, "The Natural Church of God"

Please note that Natural Congregation of Yahweh Identification Documents are generally issued in sets of three or four various types of ID per request, with duplicate copies of each type provided, including copies of the two Private Policy Contracts we hold with the United Nations and the British Commonwealth. These documents are produced for NCOY by a third party provider and the actual costs to NCOY are about $45 per duplicate piece of ID, or about $180 for a four piece set.

Natural Congregation of Yahweh - Passports

"And they went forth, and preached everywhere, Yahweh working with them." (Mark 16:20)

The Natural Congregation of Yahweh issues Passports to citizens of the Kingdom of Yahweh who have given their allegiance to Yah'shua the Messiah, as evidenced by their membership in the Natural Congregation of Yahweh.

The Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport is a "confirmation" of your declaration of your citizenship in Yahweh’s Kingdom. The Passport also states that you are evangelizing upon the highways in Yahweh’s Kingdom on earth and requests that you pass without delay or hindrance.

The Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport focuses on the real issue: We are ambassadors and members of the Natural Congregation of Yahweh traveling under the authority of Yah'shua the Messiah. The document ties us directly to the Great Commission, "Go into all nations." (Matthew 28:19) A Natural Congregation of Yahweh Passport is a wonderful tool to bring forth the Gospel message to the kingdoms of this world.

Our Passports do not provide any place for foreign jurisdictions to stamp, or otherwise place any mark of acceptance of any offer. The reason for this is obvious to the fully informed man or woman that truly understands who they are, and more importantly, "where" they are. A man of Yahweh is always a man of Yahweh wherever that man may be. Hence a man of Yahweh is always in the Kingdom of Yahweh wherever that man may be. The planet is Yahweh's Kingdom for man at the present time.

By opening a Passport, and "offering" it to an enforcement officer of man's government, you are offering to "accept" that you are traveling into whatever jurisdiction that enforcement officer chooses to stamp on your passport.

A man of Yahweh that is traveling anywhere on this planet is sojourning on behalf of Yahweh's will for that man and pursuant to Yahweh's stated commission, and does therefore not have any obligation to accept an offer to contract into or with any of man's alleged or claimed jurisdictions.

What is the purpose of a Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport?

The purpose of the Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport is to proclaim to all the kingdoms of the world that your only true Sovereign Lord is Yah'shua the Messiah and that He is Lord and Him alone. (Isaiah 37:20)

The Passport and all other photo-ID explained on this page expires seven years after being issued. For more info on the appearance and wording see: ID Samples

Who is eligible for a Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport?

Anyone who renounces his allegiance to all worldly governments and believes on Yah'shua the Messiah and declares membership in His Natural Congregation of Yahweh is eligible to acquire a Passport. (Mark 16:16) Those who are members of state professing Christian churches do not qualify. These churches have yoked with unbelievers by incorporating under the state and do not represent the Natural Congregation of Yahweh as instituted by Yah'shua the Messiah.

Individuals with this problem need to separate from these harlot churches. Those who continue their allegiance with the state need to apply to their nation for a Passport. Render to Caesar that which is Caesar's, and to Yahweh that which is Yahweh's. (Matthew 22:21)

Why can't we just use a passport from the nation where we were born in the flesh?

In order to obtain a passport, a nation requires the passport applicant to state under oath that he owes his allegiance to no other sovereign. Under this condition, the citizen of the Kingdom of Yahweh [Yahweh’s Congregation] must renounce his allegiance to Yah'shua the Messiah, who is our Sovereign Lord.

If we received a passport from a government of the world, and used it to carry the Gospel of the Kingdom to other nations, we would be hypocrites. No man can serve two masters. (Matthew 6:24) To obtain their passport we would have to swear allegiance to a sovereign other than Yah'shua the Messiah, thus placing ourselves among the false prophets who, "even denying the Messiah who bought them, bring on themselves swift destruction." (2 Peter 2:1)

The Messiah is a jealous God: "Whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in Heaven [Kingdom of Yahweh and Yahweh’s Congregation]." (Matthew 10:33) When we apply to a government of the world for a passport, we are placed in the untenable position of having to deny the sovereignty of Yah'shua the Messiah in order to be recognized by the state.

State Christian churches, which are harlots of the state, are sending missionaries to the kingdoms of this world, and these missionaries obtain state passports. The missionaries are supposed to preach renunciation of the world, not be yoked with the world. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)

The ambassadors of Yahweh’s Congregation are different from these state Christian churches. We are the direct offspring of the Natural Congregation of Yahweh. When we send out missionaries or ambassadors, we send them in the name of the Natural Congregation of Yahweh, not in the name of the state.

I am not planning on traveling to any foreign countries, why do I need a Natural Congregation of Yahweh Passport?

Normally most people do not need a Passport in their local community. But because we have separated from the world, we are now foreigners even to our next door neighbours. A Natural Congregation of Yahweh Passport is not required, but it is helpful in dealing with the government of unbelievers. It is another tool to proclaim that we have been called out of the kingdoms of the world.

Could the state or Federal courts ever prosecute someone for traveling with a Natural Congregation of Yahweh Passport?

Yes. They can prosecute anyone for anything they want. But since they did not create the Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport, they have no authority to decide issues related to its use. This principle was upheld when the United states District Court dismissed charges against a man who displayed a "Kingdom of Israel" passport, and has been upheld in many other such instances.

In 1990, Robert James Fox, was arrested in Dallas County, Texas for allegedly pretending to be a foreign diplomat when he was stopped for a traffic violation. Fox displayed a passport from the "Kingdom of Israel." Fox denied being a citizen of any worldly country or having allegiance to any political entity.

Fox was later indicted for possessing a falsely made passport and pretending to be a diplomat. In answering the charges, Fox stated: "I am a native born American and a stranger and sojourner in the land of my birth. I am not now nor have I ever been a citizen of the United States. I created the Kingdom of Israel passport as a travel document and as a means of identifying myself and it is evidence of my declaration of my allegiance to the Creator of the Universe. I deny that the passport is forged, counterfeited or falsely made. It is a genuine Kingdom of Israel passport and I have made no attempt to impersonate myself, I am myself."

The United States District Court dismissed the charges against Fox. The Court found no congressional intent to make a substantive offence related to documents which they called "homemade," and not represented as being issued by any "real government", foreign or otherwise.

Is Yahweh’s Congregation attempting to obtain formal recognition by the Kingdoms of the world for her ambassadors?

No. We have no interest in winning the approval of any worldly government. Our Commander has given us all the authority and approval we need. We have been sent as ambassadors to lost spirits who need to be reconciled to Yahweh. We seek out these lost spirits around the world, and are not restricted by political boundaries.

If I use a Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport to go to Europe, can you guarantee it will be accepted?

No. Even the United States or Canadian Passport and other passports of the world offer no guarantees. Just because you carry a passport from the world or from Yahweh’s Congregation, you can still be turned away at the border for national security reasons, or because of foreign policy considerations, or because of the whims of a customs agent.

What do I do if a border patrol officer won't let me through?

The most important thing to do is trust and believe that Our Saviour will open a way. One of our citizens traveled with his family by car into Central America. When they were stopped at the United states-Mexican border, they were asked to declare their citizenship. They did not have Natural Congregation of Yahweh Passports, but they told the officer they were citizens of Kingdom of Yahweh [Yahweh’s Congregation]. The guard said, "Sure, sure, but aren't you living in the United States?" "No. We are living in the Kingdom of Yahweh." The guard said, "Just declare you are U.S. citizens and I'll let you through." They refused, and maintained that they were citizens of the Kingdom of Yahweh and members of Yahweh’s Congregation. The guard ordered them to pull off to the side of the road.

The man, his wife, and four children stepped out of the car and started joyously singing praises to Yahweh. They continued singing about two hours, loud enough so that the border guard could plainly hear. Finally, when there was a quiet time between cars, the officer waved the family through the border.

Do I need to obtain visas from other nations?

No. Everywhere we go as members of the Natural Congregation of Yahweh we are citizens of the Kingdom of Yahweh. We do not recognize the arbitrary borders of the kingdoms of this world. As far as being stopped at these borders, they are only trying to detain us from moving from place to place within the Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Kingdom.

To ask for a visa from a particular nation, is to ask for permission to enter their political state. The Natural Congregation of Yahweh [Yahweh’s Kingdom] has no physical boundaries on the earth.

What does the Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport look like?

The Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport does not bear any similarity in appearance to many of the typical state issued passports. It is a simple, plastic card much like an ordinary credit or debit card except it has your picture on the face. The first words extend the greeting of Peace to all whom this may concern. We ask that the citizen of the Kingdom of Yahweh and member of the Natural Congregation of Yahweh named on the document be allowed to pass without delay or hindrance for the purpose of evangelizing upon the highways in the Kingdom of Yahweh in obedience to our Saviour.

No state Interest.

If you present a Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport and are hauled before their tribunals, regardless of the charges, ask them what the state or Federal interest is in your activities as a member of the body of the Messiah. Our relationship with Our Saviour and the duties arising from that bond are of no concern to the state. They are not the higher authorities over the Natural Congregation of Yahweh.

The state only has interest in those who travel on the highways in the state (on state business or commerce). We, who travel under the authority of Yah'shua the Messiah, use the highways in the Kingdom of Yahweh as members of His Natural Congregation.

Validity of Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport.

A passport is nothing more than evidence of permission, from a sovereign to his citizen, to travel to foreign countries and to return to his own land, as well as a request to foreign powers that such citizen be allowed to pass freely and safely.

When the Messiah calls His citizens to travel to foreign countries, including the United States or Canada, the proper Passport Authority is the Messiah's own Body, the Congregation or natural vine to which we belong whether by nature or having been grafted in. (Ephesians 1:22,23)

Any passport issued by a true sovereign is valid. Unquestionably, the Lord Yahweh and Creator of all things is sovereign of the Kingdom of Yahweh [Yahweh’s Congregation] and earth and His Congregation is competent to issue passports. It should be obvious that someone with a Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport is truly a missionary or minister of Yahweh. The Passport itself is compelling evidence that the bearer loves Yah'shua the Messiah too much to deny his citizenship in the Kingdom of Yahweh for the sake of traveling more expediently with a passport from a government of the world.

We are a separated people who are not to be counted among the nations. (Numbers 23:9; 1 Peter 2:9) Since our Passport was not issued by a government of the world, it may be considered by some officials as "irregular." Nations either honour Yahweh and His missionaries, or they do not.

Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passports are used and accepted on a case-by-case basis. Obviously, if our appearance and conduct are not Messiah-like, it is unlikely that we will be well-received. By the same token, even the most exemplary citizen of the Kingdom of Yahweh [Yahweh’s Congregation] could be detained by a sceptical border agent.

Any form of detention should be viewed as the fulfillment of our Lord's prophecy that you shall be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them and the nations. (Matthew 10:18) At such times, He tells us, "Do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you." (Matthew 10:19,20)

Whatever happens, wherever you go with a Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s Passport, remember that Yahweh will go before you and will be your rear guard. (Isaiah 52:12)    TOP ^

Driver License, Vehicle Title, Registration and Plates

The Kingdom of Yahweh does not normally issue driver licenses or vehicle permits. The right to travel is as certain as the right to eat, drink, and be alive. It is indeed, impossible to live and stay in one place, hence travel may not be restricted by anyone regardless of their level of comprehension. To issue such permits would in fact imply that we recognized the validity of seeking permission to do that which is essential to life.    TOP ^

Miscellaneous Identification Documents:

Although we do not actively promote issuing of Driver's Licenses, NCOY S.I.N. Cards (Canada), NCOY S.S.N. Cards (US), or International Driver's Licenses, we will issue all or any of these, as well as other specialty ID by request. We prefer to understand the reasons why a member requests these types of identification from us, and we also attempt to ensure that the requesting member fully comprehends the responsibilities associated with carrying or producing any of them before delivery. In this respect, we ask that our suggested form of "Declaration" be signed by the requesting member, confirming their beliefs.  TOP ^

Business Licenses

“Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?” Luke 2:49

Every day it is getting more difficult to labour without state numbers and licenses. Why do you need a license to work when you have already been commanded by Yahweh to work? It is your duty to work. The question is, "Who are you going to work for?" If you are a Godly man, why expend your talents and energies for the world system when you could be working for the glory of Yahweh?

Yes, you must work. But why suffer under the heavy burdens of state commerce when you can work under the light burdens of Yahweh's natural commerce. Come out of the false protection of the state and enter the true covering of the Messiah's government.

Imagine Yah'shua the Messiah going down to city hall and getting a business license to heal the sick or preach the gospel. How ridiculous. His Father had already given Him all the authority He needed.

When Yah'shua the Messiah was teaching in the temple, the officials asked, "By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?" (Matthew 21:23) They were obviously upset that Yah'shua the Messiah was working outside of their system. Yah'shua the Messiah had not been trained by them, nor approved by them, nor sent by them. His Father's great work required no license from men (John 5:43). “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working”. John 5:17

Today, Yah'shua the Messiah has been given all authority in the Kingdom of Yahweh on earth. He sends us [Yahweh’s Congregation] to do His Father's work. Whatever we do, in word or deed, we do in the name of the Lord Yah'shua the Messiah (Colossians 3:17). We need no other approval, for we have been commanded by the highest authority (Matthew 28:18-20).

Source of Life for Business

“I will not have you become partners with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Messiah and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the Messiah's table and the table of demons”. 1 Corinthians 10:20,21 NEB

Most businesses of any size incorporate with the state. A state-incorporated business gets its life from the state. In return, it must comply with state laws. The state says, "We're the sovereign. You are our subjects. Obey us or you will have no life at all."

When we hear the good news of our salvation and believe it, we become incorporated in the Messiah. His will becomes our will. He says, "I am the vine, you are the branches" (John 15:5). That is a corporate relationship. He also says, "Eat my flesh, drink my blood," another corporate relationship. He is our life and without Him, we have no life at all (John 6:53).

Whenever two or more are gathered together, there is commerce. Yah'shua the Messiah says that when we gather in His Name, He is among us. We are His body, His corporation.

When you set up a business, you are a business under Yah'shua the Messiah. You are not a business under the state. You are not doing business in state commerce. You are going about your Father's business.

Yah'shua the Messiah tells us to go out and bring all nations under Him, making all nations of the world His footstool (Hebrews 10:13). Not only are we under Yah'shua the Messiah, but we are commanded to bring the nations of the world under Him too (Matthew 28:19,20).

We go out as His missionaries or ambassadors preaching the Good News of Yahweh's government; the government that is everlasting. The governments of the world will perish in time because they have not the Truth. All those who are linked with them will also perish. Only those who have been translated into the Natural Congregation of Yahweh and Yahweh’s Kingdom will have everlasting life.

Nature of Licensing

Since the time of the Roman Empire, the license has been used by the Caesars of the world to establish their authority over a particular area. When we accept a license, we are accepting the sovereignty of the one who grants the license. An important principle of licensing is that the lesser authority never licenses the greater authority. Therefore, to ask permission from Caesar to labour, is to openly acknowledge that Caesar, not Yah'shua the Messiah, is lord over that particular sphere of our life. In other words, Caesar is the greater authority. Caesar is above Yah'shua the Messiah. Would you have Caesar as your king, not Yah'shua the Messiah?

Seekers of the Kingdom of Yahweh throughout history have steadfastly refused to be licensed with the Caesars of their day. For example, John Bunyan, who wrote Pilgrim's Progress, spent 12 years in prison for refusing to get a preaching license. The Clerk admonished him saying, "You must submit to the laws of the land, and leave off those meetings which you were wont to have, for the statute law is directly against it; and I am sent to you by the justices to tell you that they do intend to prosecute the law against you if you submit not."

But Bunyan refused. Time after time he was brought before the magistrates and told that he could be set at liberty if he would just submit to their demands to get a license. But Bunyan stood his ground, even though it meant spending 12 years in prison. Bunyan knew he did not need permission from the state to preach. Yah'shua the Messiah had given him all the authority he needed.

Today's Caesar, the state, requires its people to have licenses for various professions such as plumber, electrician, contractor and even preacher. Cities often require a business license for storefronts. If you do not have these licenses, the state may attempt to stop you from labouring. Then you must decide: either bow down to their demands and receive their privileges, or confess that Yah'shua the Messiah is Lord and be willing to suffer for that conviction.

To help make the stand easier, the Natural Congregation of Yahweh issues business licenses. Our position is that if they want a license, let's give them one. But it will come from the highest authority, not from them.

License on Wall

We are to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick, go to the prisoners, and preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of Yahweh. Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s business licenses open the door to opportunities. Several of our people wanted to visit prisoners, but were denied. They applied for and received a Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s "clergy" license. Now they enjoy pastoral visits with inmates at jails and prisons. Others are repairmen, carpenters, handymen, carpet cleaners and plumbers. They use their wallet-size licenses to identify themselves to customers when they do a job.

There is no limitation on what type of business license you may request so long as the nature of the work you do is in harmony with Yahweh’s laws. Business licenses will be issued for wall hanging, pocket sized or both if requested.

Missionaries to North America

Have you ever considered being a missionary to North America? Think about it. Who do the harlot state churches send as missionaries around the world? They send doctors, plumbers, electricians, contractors - almost all professions to the mission field. These men and women work as foreigners, not becoming citizens of the country where they labour. As citizens of the Kingdom of Yahweh [Yahweh’s Congregation], we do the same thing in our native lands.

We are not local residents. We are ambassadors and missionaries of Yahweh’s Kingdom of Godly government. We do Yahweh's work, right here in North America, without state numbers. We use the gifts Yahweh has given us to labour for His glory. If anyone asks by what authority we work, we show them our Natural Congregation of Yahweh’s business license. We stand on the highest authority. “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Messiah, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Messiah”. 1 Corinthians 15:58  TOP ^
