Description

A United Kingdom passport issued between 2001 and 2011, referred to as an “EU model,” was a passport issued while the UK was a member of the European Union. These passports adhered to common EU design standards.

Key Characteristics

Burgundy Cover: In line with EU standards, the passport had a burgundy cover. This was a common format adopted by EU member states.
European Union Designation: The cover featured the words “European Union” above the country name (“United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”).
Security Features: These passports included security features to prevent forgery, such as watermarks, security threads, and special printing techniques.
Biometric Data: Later versions of the UK passport in this period incorporated biometric data, including a digital facial image, to enhance security and comply with international standards.

Post-Brexit Changes

Blue Passport: After leaving the European Union, the UK reverted to a blue passport design to symbolize national identity.
Removal of EU Reference: Passports issued after Brexit no longer include the words “European Union” on the cover.
Continued Validity: UK passports issued before Brexit remain valid until their expiration dates.
