United Kingdom Passports

Before the First World War it was not compulsory for someone travelling abroad to apply for a passport. Possession of a passport was confined largely to merchants and diplomats, and the vast majority of those travelling overseas had no formal documents.

Indexes of British passport applicants (1904-1916)Search the indexes of names of passport applicants between 1904-1916 in FO 611/20-25. The indexes are not in strict alphabetical order but are listed chronologically by initial letter of surname.

Registers of British passport applications (1795-1948)Browse the registers of British passport applications in FO 610, which are arranged by date and by passport number. They generally contain little more than the information in the online indexes and sometimes even less, but provide a longer, unbroken run of years.

Passports (1802-1961) and case papers (1916-1983)Search by name for Foreign Office passports in FO 655 and Passport Office case papers in FO 737. These are small collections of records and therefore not comprehensive. Narrow your search by using quotation marks to find a full name, such asJohn Williams
