Evidence (2024-04-29): The UK passport is a key biometric travel document issued to British nationals. British passport holders have the right to live, work, and study in any country within the United Kingdom. The passport provides visa-free access to 172 countries, which includes European Union countries and most nations in Asia, the Americas, and Africa. [...] The His Majesty’s Passport Office (HMPO) is the designated authority that issues passports and provides passport services to UK citizens. There are multiple categories within British nationality law; for that reason, Great Britain issues several types of UK passports with different nationality codes. The kind of passport a UK national receives depends on the classification of their citizenship. [...] UK passports function as both an insurance policy and a way of unlocking new opportunities for the holder and their family. British passport holders enjoy a host of lifelong benefits.

Evidence (2024-09-30): - One of the most significant changes is that UK passports are no longer accepted for free movement in EU countries. [...] The Impact of Brexit on UK Passports Before Brexit, UK citizens could travel freely to European Union countries, enjoying the benefits of free movement. However, now that the UK is no longer part of the EU, there are specific changes to passport validity requirements. One of the most significant changes is that UK passports are no longer accepted for free movement in EU countries. UK citizens must now adhere to the same rules as non-EU nationals.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Thales has been awarded the contract to supply a new generation of UK passports. The new blue non-EU electronic passport has been gradually introduced since 2020. [...] - The UK Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) card, issued by Home Office to non-EU nationals, shares some key features with electronic passports, such as a polycarbonate card body and a contactless chip which complies with the same technology and data management specifications as those used in electronic passports. [...] In adopting Thales' solution, the HMPO (Her Majesty's Passport Office) will benefit from the company's extensive international experience in designing, manufacturing, issuing, and personalising many of the world's most advanced passports.
Claim: UK passports are produced by non-UK companies. (Richard Moore, 2020-10-20)
Evidence (2024-10-03): Pre-Brexit, the contract for printing British passports had been held by British company De La Rue. In 2018, the contract for printing post-Brexit was awarded to Franco-Dutch company Gemalto, which in 2019 became Thales DIS, part of the multinational Thales Group. The passport booklets will be printed more cheaply in Poland, with a controversial loss of printer jobs at De La Rue, but the passports will be personalised in the UK across two sites.[4][5][6][7] All passports are now issued with the blue design and they are made by Thales DIS in Poland.[8][9][10][11] [...] Following open tender under EU public procurement rules in 2018, the Franco-Dutch security firm Gemalto was selected over British banknote and travel document printer De La Rue. The result of the tender proved highly controversial, as it saw the production of British passport blanks moved from Gateshead in the UK to Tczew, Poland.[9][10][11] Most passports are produced in Poland, due to it being more cost efficient. However, urgent, fast-tracked or premium-service passports, which are 34 or 50 pages, are locally produced at application-processing centres in the UK.[55] [...] In non-UK issue passports, the request is made by the Governor or Lieutenant-Governor of the territory in "the Name of Her Britannic Majesty". As with UK-issued passports, following the accession of King Charles III, the request will change to "His Britannic Majesty".

Evidence (2020-02-22): What neither mentioned, however, was that the new passports are being made by the Franco-Dutch firm Gemalto at its site in Tczew, Poland. "I actually like the French-designed Polish-printed new UK passport," former Remain-backing MEP Seb Dance said after the launch. "Of course the previous one – which allowed Brits the right to work, study and retire freely across their own continent – was probably more useful." [...] The country prints new passports every few years, and the contract to make the new blue items was won by Gemalto in 2018 after it beat out British company De La Rue. At the time, Conservative MP Priti Patel called the decision "disgraceful" and "perverse."
Claim: UK passports are produced by non-UK companies. (Richard Moore, 2020-10-20)
Evidence (2022-07-20): In a moment of great post-Brexit pride, the UK government has unveiled the country’s new, non-EU passport. It will be dark blue, as it was before 1988, when it was changed to burgundy to align with the rest of the (then) European Economic Community (now European Union) design. [...] At the time of the Empire, a similar passport noted "British Passport" above the coat of arms, then listed the territory the passport was issued in: for instance India, Kenya, or indeed the UK. [...] The new passport, as was quickly noted by opponents to Brexit, was designed by the Franco/Dutch company Gemalto and made in Poland. The UK competitor for the production of the passport, De La Rue, lost the bid to make it last year, which led to a reported loss of up to 170 jobs in the UK. Gemalto will continue to hold a contract to make UK passports for 10 years.

Evidence (2020-02-22): Ironic or 'iconic': Post-Brexit UK passports made in EU February 22, 2020The UK will roll out new "iconic" blue passports for a post-Brexit Britain in March — but they will be produced in Poland by a French-Dutch company. The announcement that the company Gemalto had won the contract to produce the passports caused controversy in 2018. The UK government said the final stages of manufacturing will take place in the UK to "ensure no personal data leaves the country."
Claim: UK passports are produced by non-UK companies. (Richard Moore, 2020-10-20)
Evidence (2022-02-26): The new (blue) UK passport is produced by Thales Group (headquartered in France). However, passports will be personalised with the holder’s details in the UK. In a Facebook posting, it was claimed that several elements of the production of UK passports are done by non-UK companies. The image also claims that a company based in Durham, England, was unsuccessful in a tender for an element of this work and is facing bankruptcy. The posting shows an image of a blue-covered UK passport, with the following description: "Made by a Franco-Dutch company in Poland using Italian software to print Spanish ink on to Finnish paper in a tender that beat the company in Durham which is now facing bankruptcy." [...] The UK Government put the contract for the manufacture of UK passports out to tender under existing laws at the time. The contract was awarded to a Franco-Dutch firm that is now part of the Thales Group, based in France.

Claim: UK passports are produced by non-UK companies. (Richard Moore, 2020-10-20)
Evidence (2022-08-25): A person's country of birth does not change. Therefore, it is often the preferred measure when looking at the long-term changes in migration. To look at more recent changes, we recommend combining country of birth with year of arrival (for example, non-UK-born arrived in the last five years). [...] Some individuals may be born abroad but are British nationals, either through entitlement or naturalisation. This means they will appear in migration datasets as non-UK-born despite being a British national. Lucy and both their parents are British nationals. Lucy was born while their parents were working in the armed forces based overseas in Cyprus. They are therefore recorded as non-UK-born, so will appear in the migration data and statistics when looking at country of birth.
