Bobby Fischer's Icelandic passport

Posted by Picasa

I took this picture from Chessbase, around the time in which Fischer was arrested in Tokyo and finally the passport was issued by the Icelandic authorities- say February 2005, as per the image - . One thing struck me. How can a country issue a passport for a stateless person? I'm not an expert in international law at all, just curious to find out if Fischer obtained the Icelandic citizenship.
