Passport Query

You can put Scotland - it makes no difference. Lots of people in England write England. British passports seem to be given out to anyone in Africa and Asia so putting down Scotland is hardly going to make a difference.

Or would it be "Scotland, United Kingdom"

As its a "united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland" passport you should put united kingdom imo

Hopefully there will never be a "scottish passport"

Cant your bf/hubby (little one) fill it out himself!

Scotland, as United Kingdom isn't a country! oO

Is Scotland a country ? Or is the UK a country or Britain...i put the UK myself in my daughters as i thought that would be safest..when i did the check and send at the post office they didn't say i had to put England in so UK will work.

he United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland[nb 5] (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain) is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The country includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another sovereign state—the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea.

The United Kingdom is a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system, with its seat of government in the capital city of London. It is a country in its own right[10][11] and consists of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.[12] There are three devolved national administrations, each with varying powers,[13][14] based in Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh, the capitals of Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland respectively. Associated with the UK, but not constitutionally part of it, are three Crown Dependencies.[15] The United Kingdom has fourteen overseas territories.[16] These are remnants of the British Empire which, at its height in 1922, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface and was the largest empire in history. British influence can still be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former territories.

The UK is a developed country and has the world's sixth-largest economy by nominal GDP and seventh-largest economy by purchasing power parity. It was the world's first industrialised country[17] and the world's foremost power during the 19th and early 20th centuries.[18] The UK remains a great power with leading economic, cultural, military, scientific and political influence.[19] It is a recognised nuclear weapons state and its military expenditure ranks third or fourth in the world.[20] The UK has been a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council since its first session in 1946; it is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Council of Europe, the European Union, the G7, the G8, the G20, NATO, the OECD and the World Trade Organization.

Well I'm presuming the people who process the applications will realise that Scotland is a country in the UK

I shouldn't think it would matter as it will just be some sort of statistic they will hold about percentages of UK passport holders from the countries within it.

People who put 'uk' as their country of birth will be put into the category "can't read forms'

Are you not n the kingdom of fife?

AberdeenDad

Are you not n the kingdom of fife?

You can put either. I've seen passports with UK and Scotland/England/whatever on them.

My nationality would that be British? I know it's a silly question but don't want to get it wrong haha

You could put Either British, Englander, Scotsman or Miner depending on which part of Brittany you hail from.

Well when I phoned and asked I was told I could write either as it didn't matter. So phewf, no new forms needed

I'd have just bet each way and put both

i put England for the kiddies,

but i find it best to fill it ou online and then th4y send u the form all u do is get the picture bit done
