KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Passport
A passport is an official document issued under the royal prerogative that serves as prima facie evidence of the holder’s nationality.
In the United Kingdom, passports are issued through HM Passport Office.
Although UK law does not require a passport to leave the country, most foreign states require one for entry.
The government has discretionary authority to issue, revoke, or withdraw passports.
Courts may also order the surrender of passports in family law cases to prevent unlawful removal of children from the jurisdiction.
