Why You Need Your UK Passport
What You Cannot Use Your UK Passport for
- A British Passport does not entitle the bearer to Canadian citizenship (or Permanent Residence), or to citizenship of any other former UK colony.
- A British Passport does not necessarily entitle the bearer to “the right of abode” – the right to live and work in the UK. Whether or not you have the “right of abode” depends upon your type of British nationality.
- A British passport does not entitle your children to British citizenship, unless you yourself were born or naturalized in the UK.
What You Can Use Your British Passport for
- You can use your British Passport to travel to the UK without a visa or entry stamp.
- If you are a British citizen (not just a British national), you can live in work in the UK with a UK passport. (Make sure it indicates you are a British citizen.)
- A British Passport entitles you to visa-free entry into the Shengen region and, if you are a British citizen, to working and living in the Shengen region.

Common questions
British Nationals are entitled to possess British Passports. British nationality is not the same as British citizenship so, in some cases, a British passport may not entitle the bearer to the full rights of UK citizenship.
No, it is not possible to expedite the processing of a UK passport. If you need your UK passport urgently, you may be eligible to apply for a temporary Emergency Passport in person at your nearest High Commission, Embassy or Consulate.
It can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks to get your British passport, provided you do not have to Register as a British citizen first.
