Who can get a collective passport? See the travel criteria for £39 document
A £39 group passport covers 5 to 50 British youths under 18, offering a cheaper alternative for travel to 17 European countries, UK government says.
- His Majesty's Passport Office launched a collective passport costing £39 for organized youth group travel to European nations, enabling schools and scouts to facilitate trips for children under 18.
- Schools, Guides, Scouts, and other youth organizations can use the document for groups of five to 50 children; organizers must apply for additional passports if exceeding 50 travelers.
- A group leader must be a British citizen, resident, and at least 21 years old with an individual passport; officials recommend naming a deputy leader since the collective passport becomes invalid if the leader cannot travel.
- Travelers may use the document to enter European nations including France, Germany, Italy, and Spain for British nationals under 18, though families are explicitly excluded from this travel document.
- Groups might require a visa even if individual passports do not; the Passport Office advises travelers to "contact the country's embassy or consulate in the UK to check," while providing an online tracker 24/7.
