Talk:British passport

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of endorsements is not meant to include immigration stamps in the visa pages, whether from the UK or elsewhere - they can be distinguished from endorsements that are printed in the official observations page of the passport when it is issued by UKPA / overseas missions.

[edit] Monarchs

The British Monarch does not possess a passport, and nor does the U.S. Secretary of State apparently. What about:

  • monarchs of other countries (eg Spain)
  • other heads of state (eg the U.S. President)
  • a Governor-General (eg Australian passports are issued in the name of the Governor-General)
  • the British Foreign Secretary JAJ 11:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interviews

Is there no mention about having to have interviews when applying in the future? Skinnyweed 20:27, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I also noticed this (as I'm trying to apply at the moment). I think it starts this August and applies to anyone who hasn't had an adult passport before, but I'm not sure and there is absolutely nothing on their website about it.
Off topic: Has anyone tried top use their online passport application form (that is supposed to give you a printout to post to them--sophisticated!) which I though might be easier? It breaks all the time and resets itself so I've given up. Also http://passport.gov.uk (without www.) results in an IIS under-construction message.

[edit] Passport colour

Are there two classes of passport? I was issued a passport in December 2005 but it's not the standard burdgundy, its a sort of navy-blue. Anybody know the difference? Mark83 21:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Never heard of such a thing. Can you upload an image? Andrew Yong 22:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
