A collective passport is issued to approved groups of students, scouts, guides or other recognised youth organisations who plan to travel together on a trip overseas. There can be between five and 50 children and young persons on a collective passport. Everyone on the collective passport must be under 18 years old upon return to the United Kingdom and must also be a British national, which means one of the following:
*Note: Children born in the UK on or after 31 December 1982 may not have British nationality
For more information or to check nationality or for any exceptions to the above please contact the 24-hour Passport Adviceline on 0870 521 0410 (see terms and conditions).
Each group must have a named adult Group Leader to accompany them when they travel. We also recommend that groups name a Deputy Leader who could take over should the Leader become ill, for example, and was unable to travel*. This would avoid delays while the name of a new Leader was added to the collective passport.
*Note: The collective passport would become invalid if the Leader was unable
to travel and a Deputy Leader had not been appointed.
Group Leaders and Deputy Leaders must be over 21 years old and
hold a valid 10-year British passport.
