Britain reverts to its Prussian blue passport colour next month as the new contract for passport production begins.
The dark blue passport, that was first introduced in 1922 with the Imperial Passport, permitted travel across all the British Empire until the 1960s when colonies and dominions began issuing their own passports and the Empire transformed into the Commonwealth. To this day, former British colonies still have navy blue passports such as India, Canada, New Zealand, Iraq, South Africa, Australia and many more.
The British passport then changed colour to burgundy in 1988 with European harmonisation of passports.
The new design has advanced security features in line with other nations with e-Passports such as America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the EU, Japan, Singapore, Norway and Iceland.
On the back, the passport will have the floral emblems of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland patterned into the outside cover skin.
The words BRITISH PASSPORT replace EUROPEAN UNION at the top of the passport.

Looks good. How nice to see BRITISH PASSPORT written where EUROPEAN UNION once was.
If I go abroad again to work/live, I will need to renew earlier (expires 2021) so I will likely renew this summer and get one.
Thoughts?
