Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, under what circumstances her Department issues British passports containing a reference to the holder's dual nationality.

HM Passport Office do not make specific references to a customer’s dual nationality in their British passport.

However, there are circumstances (outlined in published guidance on GOV.UK at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/names-aligning-names-on-foreign-documents) when they will add an observation to show the customer has a foreign passport, travel document or national identity card in a different name.

The observation will name the country that the foreign passport, travel document or national identity document is from, rather than the nationality status.
