New passports feature White Cliffs

New UK passpost features White Cliffs of Dover

Look closely at this new design for UK passports - and you should spot somewhere close to home.

Why? Because Kent's iconic White Cliffs of Dover have been featured on the new ten-year passports to be issued from October.

White cliffs of DoverAmong the other places shown are the Gower peninsula, Ben Nevis and the Giant’s Causeway.

Sarah Rapson, chief executive of the Identity and Passport Service, said: "The new passport features a host of scenes from across the UK.

"Through its combination of physical and electronic security features, the UK passport remains one of the most secure and trusted documents in the world, meeting rigorous international standards.

"The new design is part of our strategy to stay ahead of criminals who look to fraudulently alter or copy passports."
