When you are 16 or over and in the UK when you apply, also be either:

- a British citizen
- a British overseas territories citizen
- a British overseas citizen or
- a British subject ...

you get THE UK-passport ("EU-passport").

There is only one:

No, otherwise he couldn't visit us shortly.

Pinched it from someone else. :wink:

As said, there's no "P-passport" in the UK (and has never been, if I believe the passport authorities).

Walter, you're wrong I'm afraid.

My UK passport definitely has a "P" in it, otherwise it would just be an "assport".

I hope this clarifies things.

Thanks for noting that - I've got a P on mine as well, but totally forgot about that.

So, if allcolourswithoutpink isn't looking for one with two P's - what kind typing is it?

Book antiqua or Bookman, I could imagine.

P stands for passport. All machine readable passports have a line showing

Type - Code of Issuing State - Passport Number

The type will always be 'P' for a passport. Whatever country issued it.

So ALL passports are type 'P'. It does not have anything to do with status of holder.

All Machine readable passports have 2 lines of 44 characters each at the bottom of the page which is machine scanned like this:-

P<UTOERIKSSON<<ANNA<MARIA<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
L898902C<3UTO6908061F9406236ZE184226B<<<<<14

The first line shows the P

If that was the question - Identity cards show an "ID" instead of the "P" but have got the same/similar data stored:

@colourlesslilac,
There are many types of identification documents used by citizens and governments. Type refers to the type of the identification document. Both the passport and an identity card [like the one proposed in the UK and used almost everywhere else] is an identification document, both have an identifier. It is P for passport and ID for identity card.

@leoaltus,
Why did you answer a question from 2006, with the same answer that has already been given?

@Walter Hinteler,
the 'p' on the bio page of a passport refers to the type of governement document it is..... so type: P means Passport
