Where is "place of issue" on UK passport?

Where is uk passport issued?

  • Im filling out visa and it asks for issuing authority/ place of passport issue. Where is the uk authority. Visa application said it will say in passport but it doesnt

  • Answer:

    Visa application forms for certain countries are used worldwide and they are not based on local peculiarities. In my country the issuing authority for a passport is the mayor/burgomaster and the place of issue is the municipality or city of registered residence. The United Kingdom issues passports centralized since they do not have a national ID register. The issuing authority is either UKPA or IPS [depending in the time of issue, shown in the passport] and the place of issue is "United Kingdom" since no local or county issue authorities exist..

if it was issued abroad under the old system, it would say a country/city Older UK passports were issued in several cities (Peterborough, Newport,London, Liverpool etc) but today all passports are sent back to the UK for issue, and all UK ones also issued under one name/place. it is on the passport ID page. - look above the signature It will say IPS (usually) with no town/place any more, so you can just put UK. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GBRpassportdatapage.png - see here (from wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_passport - from here
