Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of changing the wording of requests for previous passports during passport applications process to indicate clearly that the request is for all passports including those not from the UK.

Passport application guidance outlines the requirement for customers to send in all their latest passports. In the case of a dual national, this includes a passport issued by another country.

While His Majesty’s Passport Office considers this guidance to be clear, it will continue to keep this under review to ensure that it is meeting the needs of its customers.
