passport

释义

passport
n. A document, issued under the royal prerogative by the Home Office through its executive agency the Passport Agency, that provides prima facie evidence of the holder’s nationality. It is not required by law for leaving the UK, but it is required for entry into most other countries. The issue of a passport is purely discretionary and the government may withdraw or revoke a passport at will. Under the Immigration Act 1988, a person seeking entry into the UK on the basis of his right of abode there must either produce an appropriate passport or a certificate showing such an entitlement, issued by or on behalf of the UK government. The British Visitor’s Passport has been abolished and only a full British passport is adequate for foreign travel. Children need their own passports. However, children included on a parental passport before 5 October 1998 may continue to travel abroad on that passport either until reaching the age of 16 or until the passport is submitted for an amendment. The English courts have power to order the surrender of a foreign passport to protect the interest of children who might otherwise be removed unlawfully from the UK by a foreign parent. Similar powers to order surrender of a UK passport are contained in the Family Law Act 1986.

Within the European Union, EU nationals are sent through quicker channels of entry, although they are still subject to occasional passport checks, despite the Schengen Agreement reached by most EU states to abolish internal border checks, which came into force on 26 March 1995, and the creation of the Single Market in the EU, which came into force on 1 January 1993. Concerns such as drug smuggling have made member states of the EU reluctant to abandon internal controls.
