Ou Est Mon Passport?

British passports have not always been written in the same language.

  • Before 1772 they were written in Latin or English.
  • From 1772 to 1858 they were written in French. (FRENCH! Blo-ody HELL!)
  • From 1858 onwards they have been written in English, with a French translation of certain sections since 1921.
